I would think that is very feasable.

The question is.. would you really want to buy an AMD cpu, a month before conroe?

Yeah, I'm not looking to blow out a full super computer, I just want one fast enough to not lag games or make video rendering slow.

Well, 200MHz isn't going to do much for gaming. Video card is more important for most games.
