Anyway, here's something weird: Monarch Computers has the X2 4400 for $255.00 only!!!! WTF? Pricegrabber lists all other vendors selling it at least at $450... WTF is going on...? are they faking it? here, check this out:

AMD's offical price cut was on July 24,2006 but some retail stores who got the new stocks already started selling at the proper new prices. those prices are true and accurate

I would like to point out that it looks like Athlon 64 processors ensure higher performance increase when switching to 64-bit work mode. The average performance improvement we have seen from Athlon 64 FX-62 equaled 16%, while Core 2 Extreme X6800 demonstrated only 10% average performance boost. This way, there is a certain difference: AMD K8 turns out 6% mode efficient in 64-bit mode than Intel Core
