What's on the 90nm that's worth $96 more? It was only about $290 a week or so ago.
Is AMD having problems with their 90nm process or just wants insane money for it?

Note: it's not just NewEgg, a lot of places have $~100 more for the 90nm Winchester version.

Their processor pricing site doesn't mention 90nm or 130nm, but it says $288 is MSRP.

I think its supply and demand... alot of places dont have the 90nm in stock

Take a look at Monarch. I think I saw the retail 3500 90nm back in stock for $317. Not sure what the oem's were going for.

Still overpriced IMO, but better than anywhere else I've seen recently.
