re: until very recently... Only 3 speed grades were available! 3200+, 3000+ and 2800+. Initial grades were 3000, 3200 and 3400. 2800 was added recently. And 3800 is now available. I got an early 3000+ (January) and have been voltage starting it (1.3v) at full speed without any problems. Take a look at newegg's home page newegg.com -- the #1 item is a Prescott 2.4 GHz for $121. Intel's flagship core for $121! Now there's a binsplit problem. Go to the CPU page - newegg.com The #1 item is the same 3000+ I bought for $227 five months ago and it's now $223. The selling price of all Athlon 64s is above the P4 price, but there are no Prescotts above 3.2. There is absolutely no evidence of a "binsplit problem" for K8s. 3000+ to 3400+ at intro, only one lower bin added and 3 higher bins added -- 3500+, 3700+ and 3800+. Meanwhile Precott 3.4 is barely available, it at all, and 2.4 speed grade (at 533 FSB no less!) had to be added to be able to sell the millions of units that could even run at Athlon 64's slowest speed grade.
