    Has anyone purchased one of these lately?

    I'm thinking of it, but can't find an Irish source.

    i presume you can find it no bother outside ireland? for example they have it on www.overclockers.co.uk

    i wouldn't waste my money on it tbh, apart from the fact that the 3400+ performs very similarly for about half the price, there is also the new socket 939 platform coming out with the nforce 3 250 chipset also (which should have a working pci/agp lock for good overclocking).

    Anyone know if there's a socket939 chipset coming out with PCI-Express and DDR2 support?

    To be honest, I've kinda gone off it.

    Yes, I knew about the new upcoming socket changes.

    I'm begining to settle on the Athlon 64 3200+. Its a lot cheaper than the 3400+ and was looking at a review of both today and the 3200 came out marginally better.

    i would presume there will eventually though i haven't heard anything

    news from anandtech seems amd are putting off ddr2 for a bit

    yeah the 3200+ is a good bit cheaper again. have you at a pentium system also? the amd systems are nice but you'll be lucky to overclock it to anything over 2.2Ghz, while you could get a nice performance gain from a heavily overclocked pentium system? its a tough call
