very hot deal. Memory is worth about $25 so that leaves $75 for a Phenom
I see a hot deal like this and wonder "what's the bad news?"
The answer: Phenom TLB bug
Cliff notes: Roughly 50% reduction in Firefox performance when TLB bug is patched. Other apps not as bad.
Still a pretty hot deal and I don't use FF.
edplayer said:very hot deal. Memory is worth about $25 so that leaves $75 for a PhenomYou can buy the RAM for $20 AR all by itself, so the CPU is $80... I know, being picky but the debbil is in the details.
For a $80 processor, I can live with the performance hit after patching.
Can anyone recommend a motherboard for this thing? Don't need cross fire or SLI, but do need at least 4 SATA ports.
Frys.com has a Gateway PC with this proc & 4 Gb , 640 GB HDD , DVD write desktop for 599 That might be better bet than buying and assembling

why would you buy an AMD quad (that too Gateway) for $599 when you can get core 2 quad with atleast q6600 for that price everyday
and there is a big difference in $100 for the OP deal and $599..
all other components are worth 150-200$

There is zero reason for any even extreme enthusiast home user to enable the TLB bug fix. This deal is blazing.
"There is zero reason for any even extreme enthusiast home user to enable the TLB bug fix."
That may be true, but from the article it seems like the bug fix will be enabled by default in most motherboards shipped in the future...with no option to disable included via BIOS. Although AMD has hinted that they will provide software to disable the patch, you never know.
