I didnt feel the chip was worth more than the price I paid for it.

Yes you did. You felt the chip was worth more TO YOU than the money you paid for it. Otherwise, you would have kept the more valuable money. Most people don't go running around buying stuff that they feel is worth less to them than the money they paid for it.

There is practically no difference between this chip and my Duron 1.4 GHz. Sure, games may load faster but only a few seconds faster. XP loads in the same time, and so do apps.

If things aren't going faster for you, then you have it configured wrong. Are you sure your jumpers are set to run the chip at its full speed?

I bought it after the Prescott chips came out, so I thought the price was low then.

Exactly. You thought the price was low. You felt you were getting a good deal on it. It's not new egg's fault that at a later time the price dropped more.

Competitave (sp?) to whom? Newegg is the only place most of my computer-literate friends will ever shop at for comp parts.

Why do you think that is? Because their prices are never more than a few dollars higher than prices elsewhere, and their service more than makes up for any price difference. Once you factor in shipping (often free from the Egg) I rarely find anything anywhere else selling for less than I can get it at New Egg.
