Not sure about folk's experience with refurb CPUs (makes me a bit squeamish), but this is about $15 less than cheapest retail (mWave).
Ok, before your fingertips start to flame, some of us (myself included) may be in the market for this. Should be a decent upgrade from my Sempron 2800+ (no 64 bit instr, no CnQ, 8x mult). Yes, I hear you, IT'S NOT 939!!!! Well, if you already have a good mobo, the jump to 939 doesn't really buy a whole lot clock speed for clock speed until you get into the upper tier which is cost prohibitive for me.
Assuming it's still available, this plus the ATI Radeon X850XT 256MB AGP from microcenter can breathe new life into an existing 754 platform.
If I were starting from scratch, I wouldn't hesitate going 939.
Ok, feel free to disagree and let me hear about it
