Here is a list of AM2 price drops, I'm waiting on a 5000+ EE. :P
That's the exact one I want also for this board also. When you find it available, let us know. I'll do the same. I noticed that Monarch has the price changes but says the CPU's might not ship until 7/31. Zipzoomfly looks like they've reduced some of there prices also.

Interesting...

The stock Athlon X2 heatsink can out perform just about any 939/AM2 heatsink...So long as you don't mind 60dB fans...

That is interesting. I haven't even opened the box of my OEM AM2 heatsink, since I ordered the Zalman AM2 along with the CPU. I thought I had some really low temps at 22-24 when idle but it looks like the OEM gives a low of 17 degrees.

That's incredible with the stock heatsink. That's the lowest temp for all the tested heatsinks, although it does spin louder than the Zalman, 53 to 63dba. The temps they have for the Zalman are right on line with what mine reports.

"Results based on readings from a 38x38mm copper interface die with 125W heat load on the Mk.II Test Platform. Thermal Test values for each heatsink were calculated by determining the rise over ambient temperature at time of test. Information on Frostytech's test methodology is available here."

AnandTech took a look at AMD's new 65nm CPUs...

AnandTech: AMD's 65nm Brisbane Core Previewed: The most energy efficient AMD CPU to date
AnandTech: AMD's 65nm Preview Part 2 - The Plot Thickens (Updated with Information from AMD)


They are AMD's most energy efficient CPUs to date but they have 66% higher cache latency. As a result, they have slightly lower overall performance when compared to 90nm Athlon 64's of the same clockspeed.
