AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ *Help From People Who Have It*

[jrwagh333]

Hi there, as christmas is around the corner im looking into buying this processor. this will be my 1st dual core so i am going to buy the motherboard bundled with it.

Please, for those who have bought the processor, could you tell me how many processors are in the box? as i assume it is 2? but other wise that means i have to spend double the money to get 2 processors?!
