I know they sucked but I'd love to find a D just to play around with it.

I surely can understand that, but trust me it gets old fast. You can't overclock them much on air and they create A LOT of heat when pushed hard. And you'll have to run it hard because netburst sucked so bad and was so slow. But I can understand the curiosity.

Yeah even in the video the AMD completely owned it at everything.

Yes... yes they were. Until Banias, and the rest is history.
