    Yes, we knew that already.

    usually, but not for definate.... DLT3C 1700's anybody?

    If AMD have a very good yeild, you think that they all get made into 5000's or FX's while they can't supply chips to the lower end of the market?

    Assuming I get a job i've applied for, i think I'll get an AM2 setup... I'll be looking closely at DDR2 for the first time ever.

    That is some competitive pricing by AMD - I guess it goes to show what competition does.

    So wait the price cuts are for the AM2 based processors. That is freaking great!

    Does anyone know whic processor will be the best priced in terms of price vs. performance? I'm leaning on the 5000+, but I may be wrong if like say the 4400+ beats it.

    ok now im torn. I pre-ordered a conroe, but i think they're giving the option to cancel when they actually have them ready to ship. I acn get an x2 3800 for $150 and use the extra money saved from conroe to get a CF x1900 and good clocking SLI board to go with my gskill HZ, or i sell off my stuff and go all conroe, but i'm sure the prices will drop significantly on the cpu' and boards, and still we dont have a solid board that can consitently give good results... I'm so destraught

    All i really care about is oblivion, and if i get the conroe, i can't go crossfire for a little bit. Also, i only play @ 1280x1024, but i would LOVE 60 fps constant

    Well, I just hope in these amazing price drops...that amd isnt killing itself =(
    but this is what we all have been waiting for a while from them...these crazy price drops...
    I think it would have been in this area maybe if they slowly decreased prices like what normally happens.. but the last year or so all these processors have been the same exact price lol! so this is just a crazy drop. cuz they havent gone down slowly.
