Newegg has the AMD AD3870WNGXBOX A8-3870K Unlocked Llano 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop Accelerated Processor Unit (CPU + GPU) for $110 - $15 off with coupon code EMCJNNH35 [Exp 10/8] = $95 with free shipping. Features DirectX 11 capable AMD Radeon HD 6550D graphics.
Boy AMD really shot themselves in the foot with these A-series.
Too bad.
Not sure what you're saying by that? For the intended market Lano made a decent foray. There are plenty of folks and home/office machines that APU’s are cost effective for, while providing the ample and balanced performance for mainstream general computing tasks in a small efficient package. Sure there are accomplished (faster) CPU’s for less, but then you still need to augment that to see similar graphics performance with another $40-50. The down side is the power draw, heat and cooling to use that separate CPU/GPU arrangement.
X4 965 is $89 with code EMCNAHB29

The $89 deal is the better deal, the 955 was offered from Tiger Direct for $70 two weeks ago, so $85 is not as great of a deal.
