Anyone have any kind of benchmarks on this? Would it be worthwhile to wait for a dual core at this price or just go for this?

Nice find! Just bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ or I would've sprung for this. This used to be like a $400 processor a year ago, right? Sheesh!

OMG, I'm so tempted. I don't need this and I know I'll probably be going to get a Core 2 Duo 4300 when those come out, but owning an Athlon FX is like a dream from yesteryear. Would be $139 shipped for me, and likely be the last dual core CPU I ever buy (unless Intel decides to make a "Core 2 Solo" for under $100 with a high mulltiplier).

Gonna have to sleep on this one.

Anyone know how long coupon code is good for? I know pricing and availability can change by the minute.

I already have my Opteron running at 2.7 at default 1.4 voltage. If I get this, anyone want to buy my Opteron? :p

I bit. I've been looking for a CPU for the Neo4 Platinum board I picked up at Microcenter for 26.00.

Brain fart. Meant to say single core, which is apparent when read in context.

The exact reason why I'm even considering this.
