Just a bump.

As of today on newegg it is priced at 60 USD.

This is an interesting situation because of a line of new Intel Dual Cores that pack quite a few more transistors per core.

Basically things can get very hard on this decision now because of the difference between Intel and AMD mobos.

In this situation if I was buying a budget PC right now I would go with the Kuma because the savings I get with it helps go toward a 790GX AMD Mobo. This is a GREAT Mobo because you are getting the equivalent of a HD 4670 with the onboard video and it can crossfire intenally with another HD card.

And then there is overclock ability. As once you get the chance you can get a REALLY good Air cooler and then overclock it to almost 3.4 GHZ.

This will change if AMD lets loose 45nm black edition dual cores.
