Athlon II 250 is much better option if you want ultra cheap processor :p 245 and 240 are aimed at OEM i think :p

All of it is irrelevant till there are affordable, feature rich, stable motherboards for these.

That's not an AM3 board.

EDIT: You meant compatiable?

Can you post some OC results with it later though? It would be appreciated. :)

Ah, i see, do post once you get the new chip.
We need to get this thing here ASAP :- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392
If this board becomes readily available for 4k or less locally, the era of Gigabyte G31+E5200/E7400, and infact the socket 775 is over for good.

It should be around ~3.8 -4k ? I don't think they will decide to put it anywhere near X2 550 .Else it will be a failure :p

The newer Athlon II Quad @ 45W TDP sound greats .. I hope they perform even better, atleast on the level of unlocked X4 B50 :p

In S.P. Road, there is a gap of ~1k in the prices of 550 & 250 which means its just fine and will work out well. And it won't be a failure based on pricing...:cool2:
