Top speed AMD chip still $34 higher than November.

Paul, you are a fool if you think you can really pick up K6-2-400's for $153 as shown on Pricewatch.com! Accubyte, the top vendor on Pricewatch will give you NO WARRANTY unless you buy their fan for $15 plus they charge $14 for UPS ground shipping. In other words, total cost is really $182.

Thechipmerchant.com, on the other hand will sell you a fan rated for the original power-monger K6-233 for just $4.25. Shipping charges are $6.23. Total cost for K6-2-400 is $177.48

In short the lowest price on pricewatch is an unreliable indicator of CPU prices, and I guarantee you, the K6-2-350 was below $130 for the entire month of November on pricewatch.
