Again a quick look on pricegrabber has the low down on this chip. Clubit.com is beatting that price by ~$10 with no tax and free shipping. Only problem is it is OoS 3800 Chip 2.0GHz http://www.clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A1906804&cmp=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r http://gottadeal.pricegrabber.com/p__AMD_Athlon_64_X2_3800_Dual_Core_Processor,__10479095/zip_code=98012/sort_type=bottomline 4200 Chip 2.2GHz http://www.clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A1906800&cmp=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r http://gottadeal.pricegrabber.com/p__AMD_Athlon_64_X2_3800_Dual_Core_Processor,__20173453/sort_type=bottomline Or take your pick http://gottadeal.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=42/form_keyword=AMD%20X2/sortby=priceA I was thinking that for a few extra bucks you could get the 4200, but that was yesterday or the day before when the the difference was about ~$10. Not a bad price for the AMD duals though. This is for those who don't want to update there 939 boards yet.

I searched on newegg and that is the only board meeting your specs my friend. All the others (6) do not have firewire, go figure. On a side note I think I can get along with the Canon boys since I just bought a rebel XT and have had no problems. The price was better than the nikkon so....

Damnit, not only do I sound like a fanboi, but now I have retarded people that don't know what they're talking about confirming my somewhat educated guess!!! I advise that you take a grain of salt with my recommendation based on this new information and I'll do some more research on boards. :)

A quick look on pricegrabber shows that Monarch has it for cheaper even before the drop date (24th). Pricegrabber has and error and showing the X2 3800 at Monarch fro $119 but it points to the single core 3800. Go to monarchcomputer.com with extensions http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=120244 So I'm still too young to post links, but a cut and paste is available for you pleasure. $163 plus shipping if you have to have it before the drop date
