Well this product does probably not need any presentation. We recieved a AMD XP 2800+ from AMD which we are going to have a look at today. This is probably the best processor at the moment if you look at price/speed ratio. We are going to compare it to a 2600+ to see how much faster it really is. Let's get the testing going as we are testing it with Sisoft Sandra 2003, Pcmark2002, Pifast etc etc so this is going to be interesting.

The processor was covered in an anti-static bag and this black plastic box which has some gold print on it, which says AMD etc. This was a nice box and protected the processor very well during the trip over here.
