Petz,

re: Intel Pentium D 805 Smithfield 533MHz FSB LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor Model BX80551PE2666FN - Retail $134

This is the kind of price slashing I expect Intel to do. Not everything, but extremely targeted. They know AMD doesn't have enough capacity to sell dual-core chips at $134, so they are packaging a couple of otherwise-unsellable Prescott die into a single package.

I wonder how many people realize that with a processor like that, you get a single thread performance (most of apps out ther) equivalent of what was available 4 years ago. Some people who fall for this may in effect be downgrading as opposed to upgrading their PCs with that CPU.
