    It's $55 free shipping at Egg, the problem is you don't find many good cheap mobo with "newer" IGP that supports this 125W TDP? But this ASRock K10N78 with GeForce 8200 fit's the bill, but not the bast deal.

    This is AMD's ancient 125W 3GHz dual-core CPU. It's more expensive, but the retail Regor 250 3GHz 65W dual-core CPU is a better investment at $65 with free shipping. The Regor is an AM3 processor, so you can use it on an older AM2+/DDR2 m0therboard or a newer AM3/DDR3 m0therboard:

    #1 and #2 has good points.

    As for review:
    I build my gaming rig a little less than 2 years ago, with this processor (OEM version) for about $100ish. The processor is still going strong. Just remember to couple it with a good aftermarket cooler (dont need liquid cool). Mine been running idle at mid 30s*C and about 70s*C under load. I personally did not like and turn off the "baconn-quiet" feature.

    two *Donuts* up from me =)

    #2 right.. Don't wase money on this Windsor 6000+ The 125Watt kill the deal even if this is 39 bucks. I got the 250 Regor for 65 bucks and clock it to 3.8ghz It only a 65watts cpu and so much so worth it..
