thoughts?

i'd really like an AMD cpu if i build my next rig...but seeing this type of option is VERY tempting. they got the stock 2.66GHz cpu up to 3.6GHz consistently (and stable) with no changes other than upping the FSB. no increased voltage needed, etc. that puts it up into the $1000 cpu performance range.
