I'd probably get the 4600+ instead of the 5000+ because of the wonky ram timings thingy on 5000+, which at stock makes it 768 or something weird, which it'll automatically bring back to 667. If you overclock it some amount, it'll go upto ddr2-800 speeds but by then the 4600 will be some 832 or something like that. I dunno, I'm pulling things out of my butt right now but there's something witht eh 5000+ that doesn't make it a prime choice. Or if you want, you can buy something like a 3800 and wait for 65nm, but who wants to wait, lol.

I dont think the 5000+ has been released yet to the retail. So they havent dissapeared, they just never appeared at all. Why they arent everywhere I coudnt tell you, AMD is trying to pull its foot out of its ass I guess.

wow... this is wow... fanboyz left teh amd?
