Default Quick question on price

So I came across an AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core for $59 today. It's used, but is this a good deal?

Depends on what you want to do with it. Generally speaking, not a good deal IMO. 9600 is a bugged piece of poop. You could get them for $90 brand new retail at one point.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know. I'm planning on getting the Phenom II x2 BE in the next week or so, so just was wondering.

If you don't plan to OC and don't care about the TLB bug it might be worth it....... Wouldn't buy it myself personally though.

Thanks. Just saw it in a local classified, so wanted to ask about it before I decided to call the guy.
