as I said before
athlon64 3000+ is not overpriced
it has a good price/ performance ratio if you take it in consideration that it is highend

it is above pentium4 3.2ghz in performance
it is cheaper than p4 3.0ghz

and it is lots cheaper than p4 3.2 and its own socket 940 version
that is why it is not overpriced!


as for celeron
</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Celeron is fine if you&#39;re not into gaming/encoding/rendering.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
how come it is fine?
a 1.6 ghz duron owns a 2.6 ghz celeron i all situations
the celeron costs twice as much as the duron
why is that &#39;fine&#39;?
