Yep, I've been running a 3570 for about 10 months now. I picked it up 2 weeks after release in a really good bundle deal $250 with a $35 instant discount and $25 mail in so $190 back then, it's around that now, but like Lissa said, when the new processors come out, it will drop in price again. But even without that, it's a great processor, even with the stock fan I've been running it .3 GHz over stock. If I would bother to get a real HS I could likely put it at .8 GHz over rated.
