The D805 - Dual core for $130ish.

**Doctor Feelgood**

I hadn't noticed this chip until recently. Another site owner showed me how cheap they are, and two news posts on our homepage shows how they can overclock / perform.

Pricing Linkage

533 MHz fsb, but it ramps up quickly according to the articles posted.

Considering D840s cost $350+, these seem like little powerhouses, and they kick AMD's a$$ in dual core pricing.

I know have three dual core capable 775 boards, but only two CPUs... Hmmm... Time to sell something else off! Laughing

isn't the big issue with these the heat generated? Somewhere close to 180 watts when overclocked.

It's still a pretty sweet deal. Are there any boards that would work with this proc with regular DDR and AGP? If so, it could be a very nice upgrade to ease into dual core.

This THG shows how much juice it eats when OC'd and does it ever suck up alot of juice:

THG goes indepth but like you said 45 pages is too damn long even for THG.

even 171w is nuts. Thinking of picking up a 930 instead, to save on my power bill. Laughing
