Ya but it beats the hell out of paying the usual full price.I should know,I bought a S-939 4400+X2 and it cost me 600 dollars.Three months later,that same processor dropped in price by like 50%.A good ploy on AMD's part to get people to buy their product.Don't get me wrong here cause I like performance,but I live in a smaller community now and I believe in supporting small business.As far as processors go,AMD is the small guy next to INTEL.Hence the reason I support AMD and I always recommend them to my clients.Good shopping and MERRY X-MAS to all.

and el cheapo ASrock AM2 mobos w/ integrated NV6100s at around 60-70$.. With that you can get dual core rig x2 for around 300+ $

happy shopping

OHHH. No wonder Why most 1st World
Countries haven't seen the X2 3600 around i think it's because they were only meant to be sold in Developing and Slightly Developed countries. I have searched and have yet to find a X2 3600 In Toronto, But my friend here in the Philippines has them in stock and they are CHEAP!!

Very Cheap!

they are clocked at 2.0 ghz. Pretty good performance. Don't know if they are 65nm though. Maybe

 

[geralt]

Nope, they are 90nm but 65W 8)

Short of them almost giving them away I can't see buying any. The Core 2 simply out classes them. This from an AMD guy going way back. I'd have to be desperate to go AMD right now.

Yes, if you built a AMD setup now, you'd start thinking maybe - I should have built a C2D

Then you are not looking out for your client's best interests all the time.

 

[n0odle]

whoa....i might get myself a 3800x2 for the hell of it at that price.

 

[dlmacline]

Its not that bad to build an AMD.. I setup AMD x2 PCs for my cousins who are on a budget.I dont get complaints from them...

I use C2D.. Im lucky..I just happen to have enough resources for me to have a C2D..but if I didn't had one.. I could have built myself an AMD..its still a pretty smart choice

Yes, nothing wrong with AMD, it's just that the C2D's are faster for the same and less $$.

I mean in real terms, even a single core AM2 64 3800+ is a fast CPU.

Talking about the SC 3800+ CPU, there've dropped 8O in price again. A few months ago in Aus they were $187, - Now $145

Still good value and will run most games easily when paired with a good graphic card.
