You have to enter promo code "AMDROCKS" to get the $50 discount. It's regularly $189.

It works for me. Try logging into your Newegg account first and see if that works.

How does the FX-55 compare to the AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 2.4GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor in price/performance?

geez people. This (fx-55) chip is 1 of the best single core cpu's on the market (only the fx-57 beats it out). It beats all the regular AMD 64 single core cpu's hands down due to it's already high frequency, 1mb cache, unlocked multiplier, and being made from better materials like the Opteron. It beats all the Opteron single cores (w/ exception to the $650 Opteron 154), even the Opteron 152 (same clock) due to having the unlocked multiplier. And the price beats the Opteron 152 also.
