Default AMD Phenom II 940 may be the best deal yet...$169

Seems $245 for the 955 seems a little out of whack when you can pick up the 940 that still runs at 3 GHz for as little as $169 using the promotion code AMD41420

Still too expensive for me. I picked my dual core 2.8GHz today for 120 bucks. My Vista index went up from 4.9(CPU and memory) to 5.6(CPU) the rest now are at 5.9.

No more stutter when the ships are exploding in ETW . It's good enough for me. Now I'm a happy lad.

Gotta love that 6MB L3 Cache!!! This is my current choice for a new CPU.
