Phenom II X3 720BE + Biostar T-series = X4 OC 3.7GHz air cooled!!!
I've got mine unlocked the 4th core w/ biostar t-series 790GX board and easily over clocked it from 2.8ghz to 3.7ghz using cheap air cooling at the price of X3. Really a bargain.
I've been wanting an AMD alternative to an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, which is priced at around $180. The Phenom II X4 720 should be a good bet, running 200MHz slower (E8400 is 3.0GHz) but with one extra core. And it should be considerably cheaper.

Seems nobody else found the two pins lying on the desk funny. I must have a warped sense of humour.
720BE is impressive.
Now just give us a X4 unlocked (BE) AM3 CPU.
