yea dude, i do newegg for a couple extra bucks... i mean the service is great. one time i ordered 50 blank cds and they were out of stock... not only did they send me the cds, but they only charged me for shipping when they were in stock.
plus, ships normally in 3 days maximum. other places it normally takes a week or longer.
newegg has greattttt service. i bet they make a lot of money off of people who buy new rigs because they ship some things together, but you still get charged for shipping for both items.
the service is worth it though, plus they'll take stuff back for 15% restocking fee... which i guess isn't all that bad. (defective or not)
couple things...
sempron 3600+ more than athlon 3200+ same frequency less cache? the sempron costs more! weird.. lol
and i don't think AM2 is worth it until ddr2 lowers in price (or has it?) and AMD switches from 90nm to something lower.
also, AMD only goes up to 3800+ single core? that sucks lol.
they should make X2's cheaper...

It turns out that the new AM2 semprons are lower performing that their 939 counterparts... which if you ask me is kinda worrying. But im not switching to AM2 for sempron 
There are loads of places where you can get AM2 units from its just finding a place that has them in stock if you cant wait for a few days
