Awesome deal. I had to cancel my order for the 4400+ I bought JUST YESETERDAY and order this one! Thanks op!

I assume the retail packaging will include the fan/heatsink correct?

Yeah, me too. I'm glad I saw this, because I believe Monarchcomputer was going to ship tomorrow. I just hope Dell doesn't drag their heels on shipping this.

Nice find Op!!

Thanks. I have ordered some stuff from Dell that was suppose to ship in 1-2 weeks but I got it well before that. I am not sure what will happen this time.

Thank you, I havent purchase a retail cpu in a while.

ask a stupid question: amd64 requires whole different software than 32-bit cpu, is it?

The power ratings for current Athlon 64/X2 and Pentium 4/D CPUs (excluding EE/FX):

Pentium 4 (up to 3.4GHz) 84W
Pentium 4 3.6/3.8GHz 115W
Pentium D 800 series 95W (2.8GHz), 130W (3/3.2GHz)
Pentium D 900 series 95W (2.8GHz/3GHz), 130W (3.2/3.4GHz)
source: http://processorfinder.intel.com

Athlon 64 130nm (up to 4000+) 89W
Athlon 64 90nm (up to 4000+) 67W
Athlon 64 X2 3800+/4200+ 89W (4400+ is 89W or 110W depending on the stepping)
Athlon 64 X2 4600+/4800+ 110W

Intel doesn't have many speed grades equal to the higher rated Athlon 64/X2 CPUs. In general, AMD Athlon 64/X2 CPUs run cooler than similar performing Pentium 4/D CPUs. That will change later this year when desktop Core Duo/Solo (Merom/Conroe) CPUs come out in 6-7 months.

decision decision decision....

running asus p4p800-e deluxe p-m 1.6@2.4ghz, 6800le unlocked 1gb ddr, raptor 74gb etc
should i jump on this x2 3800 now or wait for the next amd am2 or socket m merom/conroe

if i jumped i'll have to get socket 939 mobo, pci-e v-card....

any suggestion ?

Please PM if you're not going to use your code.

Which board did you get or recommend? I got the Asrock Dual-SATA2 from Newegg for the previous build which was good.

Thanks OP, ordered one. Now need to find a decent low price board.
