Athlon II cpu's

Anyone else thinking about getting an Athlon II 45 watt cpu?  These things seem to be perfect.  Low cost, energy efficient, plenty of processing power...what's not to like?

Remember the cpu comparison chart that was done a while back...the one where it was explained how the particular cpu affected de-interlacing?  I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I was wondering if this was going to be updated at some point?

Edit: Ahhhh, it's from "A Basic Overview of GPU HD Video Processing".  But it tells how the Advanced Deinterlacing works depending on cpu.  I was wondering if the Athlon II cpu's are more like Phenoms in this area as opposed to being like the old Athlon 64s.
