Intel Core 2 E4300 too pricey?
 

The good news is E4300s are now available in a number of places. The bad news is they cost about $190, which is somewhat more than its $163 benchmark price, and a lot more than the $113 they'll cost sometime in the second quarter. The good news is that the $190 will probably look more like $160-170 in a couple weeks.
