AMD put out an EOL notice on a few 1 meg cache (2meg total @ 2x1) athlon 64 x2 chips. In particular, the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 939, has dropped in price dramatically. Zipzoomfly currently has the ADV/E6 revision for 228. So, if anyone's in the market for a powerful and cheap (realitively) CPU you may want to check it out. Keep in mind the ADA4400 and ADV4400 are different only in the thermal signature, in particular the ADV4400 runs at 89 watts, and would be the better chip to nab, as opposed to the 110watt ADA chip.
Hope this helps someone
Now to place my order.
Almost forgot:
If your thinking of a new vid card, hold out to November for the geforce 8 series, if you're pining for a NV card. The geforce 8 will introduce at 300-400, and will usually lower previous gen cards. In particular the very capable 7 and 6 series geforce cards which will run NWN2 w/o any issues. I'm unsure of ATI's roadmap, but I'm certain they will have a similar event in November that will lower their X series cards also.
