This is a sweet deal. Even though Conroe is faster, I'd still get the X2 3800 for only $169 and OC it.

Confirmation????

You provided a link to a site. Is that not confirmation?

The 3800+ is around 140 on newegg right now, but the x2's are still expensive.

You should check newegg like corey said the 3800 is about what you say it should be on July 24

How do you know the conro at $170 would be a better buy? there is no benches on the lower end versions of the conroe yet. The prices are pretty awsome im curious if they are gonna lower the cost of the opteron I wanted to get a 165.

there are benchmarks on the low end core2duo's

They need another price drop, at least 50% to justify buying them.
X2 3800+ @ 100-ish would be a reasonable deal compared to Conroe.
