Well, it does have the nice unlocked multiplier.

 

[drum]

yeah, if you already have that board, thats a great upgrade!

Anyone have any kind of benchmarks on this? Would it be worthwhile to wait for a dual core at this price or just go for this?

 

[knightc2]

This is hot. Will this code work on other processors?

Nice find! Just bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ or I would've sprung for this. This used to be like a $400 processor a year ago, right? Sheesh!

OMG, I'm so tempted. I don't need this and I know I'll probably be going to get a Core 2 Duo 4300 when those come out, but owning an Athlon FX is like a dream from yesteryear. Would be $139 shipped for me, and likely be the last dual core CPU I ever buy (unless Intel decides to make a "Core 2 Solo" for under $100 with a high mulltiplier).

Gonna have to sleep on this one.

Anyone know how long coupon code is good for? I know pricing and availability can change by the minute.

This is not a dual core.

 

[middlehead]

I almost wish I hadn't seen this thread.

 

[lopri]

Yeah this is REALLY tempting since I have never owned an FX chip. Ah..

 

[AAjax]

Great find OP! If your looking for sopme serious bang for the buck, this is your deal

Edit: I nominate this as best find for a junior member, 8 posts and allready a keeper.

 

[OCedHrt]

I already have my Opteron running at 2.7 at default 1.4 voltage. If I get this, anyone want to buy my Opteron?

 

[esquared]

I bit. I've been looking for a CPU for the Neo4 Platinum board I picked up at Microcenter for 26.00.

Brain fart. Meant to say single core, which is apparent when read in context.

The exact reason why I'm even considering this.
