Most of the cuts are at the very high end of the line -- it'll be interesting to see what happens to the prices of the competing AMD offerings.

    It would happen literally the *day* after I ordered all the parts for my new computer.

    This just ruins the feeling I get from paying significantly less for an Athlon...paying just "substantially less" is far less satisfying.

    In other words, you can get an i486-DX2 for $4.24 (a 53% decrease of the previous price of $8)
