Absolutely not. The AMD V-series is a low-end, low-power, single-core processor designed for use in netbooks and other low-intensity situations. The Athlon II series is a mid-range AMD processor line dedicated to the common consumer, offering every processor in between a 2.8 GHz dual-core and a 3.1 GHz quad-core for whatever needs you have. Go with the Athlon II series, starting at $56.99 on Newegg.com.
AMD is the manufacturer of the Athlon processor.
The Intel 6th Generation i7 is much better than the AMD Athlon.
ATHLON II is the newer processor
The fastest "classic" Athlon is the Athlon 1400C. The fastest 32-bit Athlon is probably the Athlon XP 3200+.The fastest processor with the Athlon name is probably the AMD Athlon 64 FX-74.

One can purchase an AMD Athlon 64 processor from a few different online sources. Some examples of sites that sell this processor are Amazon, eBay and AMD's official website.
No. However, processors labeled "AMD Athlon 64 X2" aredual-core processors.
Assuming you're talking about the AMD Athlon II X2 250 and the X2 265, yes. They both run on Socket AM3, and are fully interchangeable. Good idea on the upgrade, but for $1 more on Newegg, you can buy the AMD Athlon II X3 440, which is a triple-core processor on the same socket. A dollar more for a whole extra processor? Sounds like a good deal!
