I agree, TwoRails. My brother and I had the same "sticker shock" the other night when we were looking for parts for his new build. We were looking through the Athlon 64 cpu's page and just out of curiosity I told him that I wondered how dang high some of those processors went in price. He goes to page 2 and at the bottom was some sort of Athlon 64 FX for $1,039!!! I bout fell outta my chair! $1,039 for a piece of silicon not even as big as the palm of your hand!
