    It was $392.19 on Sunday. With APP it's now $439.19 because they phased out the stock Sempron-M in favor of the slightly more powerful stock Turion MK-36. It's no longer as nice of a deal because the very minor performance increase is not worth the extra $47 and extra power consumption and heat output of the Turion.

    As far as the $479.99 you see- that's a 'pretty price', which means you probably don't have any discounts (APP) applied. See the sticky in the Compaq/HP section, it shows you how to sign up for and access APP pricing.
