What are the current value kings in CPU-land?

I'd have to say that the i7 920 is pretty nice if you can get it at Microcenter prices. Finally upgraded from my old 965P-DS3 Rev 1.0 / E6600 @ 3.6GHz rig and am extremely happy with the results.

New CPU = $199 + tax, mobo (EX58-UD3R) = $135.

i think depend on budget, 100 range can't beat x4 620, 150 range probably get a PII quad or Q9xxx (used), at 200 range will be i5 750 or if you live near a microcenter i7 920.
