Dude, I don't know where you're buying your processors but you are getting royally screwd!

A 2 second search at NCIX found me this, an Athlon XP 1800+ Retail for $387 plus tax

As for the unlockng part, I haven't had the courage to try it so far.

Oh yeah, and for the 2GHz Athlon, I imagine you mean Athlon XP 2000+ (@ 1.667 GHz) because AMD does not sell 2 GHz Athlons, maybe they will when they go to a .13um process but this won't be for at least a couple of months.
