What about the 3200+?
I have bought the damn near top of line AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+.
It works out fine with the good heatsink, because I have family that will be buying a multi media PC, and seeing how the 4400+ simply raped Intel in most dual core testing oriented benches, I can just grab them a 4200+ Manchester, and throw on that heatsink. Coupled with the Cool N' Quiet technology from AMD, it will do very well. Then again, if I don't buy them AMD, its good for LGA 775...
