I wasn't aware the CPUs were so affordable these days... But then again, 
oddly, complete systems sell for less than the individual parts that make up 
the system (i.e. the CPUs may sell for $150 each, but in a system unit with 
HD, RAM and framebuffer the whole thing migh fetch $275 - this is just a 
made-up example, but I've seen similar pricing esp. w/r/t Ultra 2 systems 
vs. CPUs)...
