Interesting, I still have one of the unlocked "dual" cores and I'm surprised it's performance is still valued so much.

Not much to add except this is my CPU for the last few years, no complaints... was reasonably high end at the time

Processors get a second shot as legacy system upgrades.

Its been 79$ at microcenter for a while. Ran this CPU for 3 years. Very good. 4.1 GHZ on air is pretty easy

Alternatively, you can also get the X6 1045T for $80 at MicroCenter. If you're really lucky, you'll find a motherboard that gets $40 off with the 1045T

Of course if you're really, really lucky, you'll score a couple of X6 1100Ts at Fry's for $76 each.
<-- Like that bastard :whiste:

Still rockin' a Phenom II X4 @ 4.0 Ghz. Don't know if I'd buy it new, even if cheap like this, but its still capable enough right now. As someone said, its good for a legacy system upgrade.

Same here keep waiting till the next generation AM3+ to upgrade. Don't have a real need to upgrade yet but want to.
