is this an okay processor? Frys has it on sale today along with windows 7 for $99, it's making me sorely tempted to purchase the components to build my own system.
I am looking for a good Mobo processor combo in the $150 range.

It ranks high on the performance/cost ratio, but unfortunately, is pretty damn slow. $99 isn't even a good deal for it.

May want to move this out of the political forum so more people will bother to read it.
