Yep, not a bad price, shame it's something like 95W though. Saying that, AMD have released lower power Phenom II and Opteron processors, so they may well be able to bring out a low power Athlon II X4 too (albeit probably at a lower clock speed).

I'm mulling over getting one of these myself. I can't afford an Intel Core i7 or i5 even now they're cheaper and I already have an AM2+ board sitting around waiting for a new chip anyway.
