...and bugger me dead they are down to $13....

There's none left.

Similar to when I first enquired about upgrading my 939 socket AMD 64 3200+ to a 4600+ dual core.....they were up around $600 -$800, depending on the store and which version.
When prices dropped I ordered and paid $480 up-front for an AMD 64x2 4600+ at my regular computer store....only to be told two weeks later it was no longer available (anywhere). Much the same thing, really....they advertised a lower priced item but didn't actually have it in stock, then said they couldn't get it, either.
They told me I'd have to go with the newer AM2 socket to upgrade....meaning I'd have had to replace my mobo and 3 gigs of DDR400 RAM as well. The mobo and RAM are less than 6 months old, so I enquired at a smaller store which GOT me the (NOT available anywhere) CPU I wanted for $420.
Not only did the much smaller store get me the unobtainable, they did for a much better price.
