Ok, I understand why all of the other AMD Athlon 64 FX 6x series are jumping in price due to the soon to be released AM2+ 4x4 platform, but why is the AMD Athlon 64 FX 60 also jumping in price considering it's on the Socket 939 and will not take advantage of 4x4? Unless there is an AMD Athlon 64 FX 60 on the AM2 platforum that i'm not aware of.

The sole purpose of the pricing is to steer folks away from it, judging from the fact that the FX-62 is even cheaper - they *may* have more of the FX-62 in stock compared to the FX-60 and looking to offload them quickly.

It would be nice if amd came out with a socket 939 4x4 platform. I'm point in the direction of Asrock. :)
