Too bad I'm not near one (3.5 hours away) or I'd pick one up for my home server...

MC also has a Phenom 830 OEM version for $50 instore, thats basically a rebranded PII 925. These sell like hot cakes, I see them in stock and they are gone.

Local store near my home only carry AM3+ CPUs (plus the APUs). Seems like those PII X4 and X6 and always on demand.

I got one Phenom II 830 from Microcenter, and it is decent chip @3.9Ghz at stock V. Stock speed was 2.8Ghz to 3.9Ghz on air.
