Exactly what I was thinking. AMD is not a budget-CPU brand. Its processors are still on par with similar offerings from Intel. It's not a small company that's sweeping up the lower end of the market.
the Semprons were cheap. the A64s weren't cheap, especially the S939 variants.the thing is we're talking about S64 / A64 only - but prior to that, we have the great T-bred Bs that were highly OCable too. they're cheap (i bought mine for RM 225 or so) and pair it with a nForce2 mobo with OCing features (NF7-S, 8RDA+, A7N8X, DFI LP so on so forth) and wow........ 1466mhz processor running at 2.2ghz++ or more!!
Intels aren't that bad either, take the P4 2.4C on boards like IS7 / IC7 - they're nice to OC too. just that the P4 parts tend to be more pricey, so people opt for the AMDs.
