Excellent Article. I'm glad that AMD is coming out with more affordable Dual-Core solutions.

To bad the 2 people listed for having "availability" in this peice are already marking them OVER retail price. Let the price gouging start... :(

Lets hope the prices come down soon. I need one of these in my new build.

Yeah I haven't upgraded my motherboard/CPU combo in 20 whole months!!

Still stuck with a 754 Athlon 64 3000+

I figure the 3800+ is like two of those :)

And like two of those... it'll only increase performance for multi-tasking... but it's already plenty for all the single tasks I have.

Now I paid $215 then... so I guess $430 would be fair for one of these...

new comments system seems to hate Firefox

anyway, all the price links on the article point to the Athlon 64 3800+ rather than the X2...

It is an eyesore regardless. I am using FF and I have not tried it in IE.

Good for you... I simply cannot login/post comments while using firefox. It seems to accept the login, as it doesn't spit back an "invalid" message but shows me the login form again, and no links to "post" or "reply". Probably just a cookie issue but I tried turning my security down a little and it still didn't work... is Anandtech requiring a 3rd party cookie to be set just to post comments... ?

Dang it...

For a short while a month or so back, I was "approving" each cookie individually, and anandtech insisted on planting a cookie until I said "block site completely" - forgot about that until today. Finally able to post in Firefox now!
