Hate to rain on the parade, BUT:
We were selling the 533 for about $250 last month, and, for that matter,
the whole last year. It is just this month that Samsung INCREASED the 533
price so that it now sells for $430..
Remember, this is just the CPU we are talking about, The motherboard is on
top of that.

The 600, 633, and 667 DID come down, though.
