Current price/value "sweet spot" for socket-a processors?

[glenn1]

Question pretty much sums it up... what's the best bang for the buck deal in socket a processors right now?

 

[DBandit]

those sis 735 or 745 boards.

i'm speaking more of the processor than the board... i'm looking to upgrade a Duron 750 to something with a bit more speed, i'm all set on the motherboard end of things

The 1700+ or 1800+ are definately the best deal out there right now, and the price/performance kings.

according to www.cpuscorecard.com the 1.4ghz tbird is the current preformance/price ratio winner.

That sites full of it, notice how almost everything is a D except the 1.4 is an A. The 1700+ and 1800+ aren't even on the list.
The 1700+ or 1800+ is definately the way to go.

How about the 1600+? Is that a good bang/buck ratio?
