The Inq-well is running a piece on the soon-to-be-released Athlon 64 3000+. Yep, you read that right, 3000+. They're putting a chip on the market that's a bit slower, & consequently cheaper. Only question now is, how well does this baby o/c?!??

"...current Athlon64 3200+ can be found for about $400 -- give or take a few. This new chip will be a little more than half that when it debuts, most likely on December 15, but that could still change by a few days. Look for the price to be less than $225..."
