You can use DDR2 667.

Like others, waiting for it to go cheaper...and it will.

that's always true. It's just a matter of how long you wait. I could wait another year and this will be 50 bucks.

3800+ X2 939 is $159.99 @ outpost.com with free shipping. Cheaper than a lot of places, but there might be 1 or 2 sites out there that can beat that price. Also as others have pointed out it will get a bit cheaper hopefully in a few weeks when retailers start lowering it to AMD's price chart.

From the Outpost website here:

Damn me for being in Indiana.

damn this is all making me wanna upgrade to a cheapo 3800 X2 939 with a nice OC board. probably DFI Ultra-D.
3800 = 150 or so.
DFI = 95
RAM already got 1GB DDR 400
So makes this like a 250 upgrade. from X1 to X2. Not too shabby.

But I think I'll hold for cheapo Conroe then dump 300-350 bucks for an upgrade, OC to like 3Ghz.

Check out ewiz.com 9+ resellerrating. $150 on the X2 3800+.

Thanks Baked for the ewiz idea. I totally forgot about that site.

I just ordered the 4200 X2 (939) from ewiz.com for $194 shipped to NJ.

Hurry up guys, they also have the 3800 X2 (939) in stock too.

Had an order with mwave for the 3700+ San Diego, but just had to change to the X2 3800. Hoping the dual core will come in handy in the future.

Yeah, that is a great deal on the 3700+. Basically guaranteed FX-57 speed... crazy goodness

Welcome back, AMD of old

If anyone is living in the good ol Bay Area, California you can pick up a Socket 939 X2 4400 for $245.95 here. The store has prices very close to newegg on a lot of stuff. Note, they also ship, but the return/RMA policy and tax may turn off many of you. Fortunately, I live a few miles away, but I've had the processor for a while now
