IF you google well around you might also find kinds of $400 Athlon64s or $300 Pentium3s; just old forgotten stuff. However, higher end semprons are also notorious for this kind of stupid pricing.

I think my $160 (now $115) overclocked processor beats that thing out by a small margin. I just may hold onto it.
