I'd get a AMD X2 4200 for $184.99 shipped over this anyday.
1. From Club IT about 50x more reliable than monarch
2. Has much better multipliers to work with, up to 11 vs 9.
3. 400Mhz faster stock speed.
4. Cache makes zero differce in benchmarks/performance.
5. Runs cooler and uses less power because of less cache
6. Comes with 3 yrs warranty and a nice HSF
7. All My 1MB cache chips clocked higher. Both 3800s to 3Ghz. My 165 and 170 2GB Chips never got close.

Monarch now has them back in stock - $146. Get em while they last - they had none 2 hrs ago.
PS this is for the OEM version, not retail. They now appear to be out of stock.
