eWiz.com has the AMD Phenom II X4 965 AM3 3.4GHz Processor for $189 - $25 off with coupon code RING25 = $164 with free shipping. Features a 3.4GHz clock, 4x 512KB L2 cache, 6MB L3 cache, and works with socket AM3 mobos.
#5 Don't worry. Price will come around again. With the intro of the Intel I7, I5 and I3's and the soon to come I9, AMD is going to have to come out with something new, or REALLY get aggressive with their pricing for their current line. From the newsfeeds and blogs I've been following lately, it looks like AMD's only realistic route is the latter for the short term. Poor AMD... playing catch-up again.
You can get this with a Biostar TA790GX A3+ motherboard for $179 (AR) from Frys. Check out the following link: http://newspaperads.contracostatimes.com/ROP/Ads.aspx?advid=18196&adid=8840153&subid=28169107&type=
Price good through 1/28.
Hmm...sounds like a great deal, I wonder how bad that MB is.
Need a $30 rebate for that deal to work.
I need a deal on a AMD Phenom II X4 940 AM2+.
Good price, I guess I was a little late, Sold Out. would not mine paying the 965 for 164.00 and clock it to 4.0ghz.

#5, if you can't wait, Microcenter (if there's one near you), sells the 965 black edition for $185. http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0325874
Hey #5, sorry for the barrage of mails, but check out the following link: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HDZ965GMBX&src=Deal&title=AMD-Phenom-II-X4-Processor-965-3-4GHz-AM3-Retail
Looks like they have the Black Box edition for $179. Don't know if Ben's coupon will work (didn't try), but at least they have the BB edition.
