Too bad it's priced out of my range:

Built on AMD64 arcitecture, the AMD Athlon 64 processor is designed to deliver outstanding levels of performance and customer-focused innovation to home and business users alike.

Regular Price: US$463.00


AMD Athlon64 FX-51 Processor, Retail
Built on AMD64 arcitecture, the AMD Athlon 64 processor is designed to deliver outstanding levels of performance and customer-focused innovation to home and business users alike.

Regular Price: US$829.00


MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R S754 Mainboard w/Audio/SATA/RAID/FW/GBLan
World's first AMD Athlon64 mainboard!

Regular Price: US$180.00

The entry-level Athlon 64 3200+ processor will be quoted by AMD at US$416 per unit, while a high-end version will carry a price tag of over US$600. It would cost individual buyers another US$160 for motherboards using a K8T800 chipset from VIA Technologies, while the FOB (freight-on-board) wholesale prices are estimated at around US$130, local motherboard makers said.
