While the rest of the world is paying extra to the price gougers, I'm just kickin' it, trying to stay cool in the summer heat. Why is it almost 100ºF in Wisconsin? :disgust:

I don't know but I hope it cools down soon- getting too warm even in the basement...

I think your Sempron will keep you busy for a while. That's a dawm good price - motherboard and cpu for $110. That Sempron should easily hit 2.2 GHz, with the proper memory divider, which gives you the equivalent of a Athlon 64 3300+ (if they made such a thing). My Sempron ran fine at 2.4 GHz until I started playing Oblivion - then I had to lower it to 2.25 GHz - still pretty nice though.

It will be a while before the Core 2 Duo is ready to compete in the Bang for buck department. I figure there will be a lot of good, affordable options out there by Q4 of this year.

My Sempron 3000+ ran at 2.7 GHz a while ago with upped voltage, or 2.4 easily at stock. That one is newer, so it should be able to reach at least that...

The price is not being gouged on the Gigabyte board. It's only $150, not $250 like many of the others. Now, on the other, we'll have to see how much I get gouged on an E6300.
