    I'm mostly curious to see just how low that 3600 will go at retail.
    Probably be some very interesting mobo/cpu package deals coming up!
    Currently messing with:
    Intel DP55SB Sharpsberg
    i7-860 (stock) under a Zalman CNPS-8700NT cooler
    4x4GB Corsair Vengence @ 1600
    XFX Radeon 5850 Black Edition (765, 1125 stock)
    Mushkin Chronos DX 240GB and 1.5 TB WD Black
    Powered by a Seasonic X-650 and stuffed into a Silverstone GD05 case

    man, the prices are going way low ... is it possible?
    like, its nice for us, but I feel bad about AMD, whats the point doing this?
    Is it really that MARKET SHARE-THING? This must be some bigger strategy, and its concerning what AMD has to do to "keep up" with Intel today, I hope the K10 will be released ASAP ...
    Sometimes a good slap in the face is all you need

    Bios my arss.....
    I can fix this problem with a hardware mod....

    Maybe they need cash to manufacture K10? We, or atleast I know that dropping prices makes more people buy - and in the end one makes more money Maybe that's the strategy?
