£211 from Scan on Today Only (over the weekend) and free delivery of course

Also, Scan's one is the retail one with 3yr warranty and the heatsink / fan whereas the LOTW is an OEM one with no fan.

Erm you can get a cheap Opteron 144 and overclock it to 2.8Ghz... Thus making it as fast as an AMD 64 FX-57... (But only if you are lucky!)

Probably a little bit faster due to the faster FSB

And yes, you do need to be very lucky. Most of the current steppings arn't doing too well.

You can always increase the FSB on the FX as well (you just don't *need* to to overclock it)
