Price drops on AMD X2 on ZipZoomFly, plus very nice freebies.............
The Retail-box X2 prices on ZipZoomFly have changed this morning as
follows:- X2 3800+ $338 X2 4200+ $410 X2 4400+ $497 X2 4600+ $640 X2 4800+ $799 -- with free 2-day shipping to mainland US. Plus for all except X2 3800+, a free copy of Nero 7 Ultra edition (full retail afaik), DVD media and a wine-stopper.......... I have not recently checked other prices in the AMD stable. However, here are the top-end: A4000+ San Diego $344 FX-57 $1011 FX-55 $811 The FX-57 still sure does not look like good performance-per-$$ Modest overclock of others, especially X2 4800+ makes it a no contest, imho. Of course, there are those who worship at the altar of clock-rate and "my processor is faster than your processor".... like Intel, before AMD showed them the light.........

... The Retail-box X2 prices on ZipZoomFly have changed this morning as follows:- Good deal, but I'm going to wait for Socket M2, as well as G80/R580 before making any upgrade decisions. |

Same here, it's too much money to upgrade right now. We'll need a new mobo
and CPU for Socket M2...and DDR2 memory. Being Socket M2/940 it should mean Socket 940 heatsinks will be compatiable....hopefully. "NightSky 421" wrote in message ...

I figure I'm good with what I have until sometime next year anyway. I'm glad I went with a high-end box on my last build since it's given me longevity and flexibility as to when I can upgrade. |

John Lewis I like the fact that without overclocking, my 4800+ flat walks away from my 3.0E, and the X2 is clocked at 2.4 gHz. BTW, Q4 cruises nicely on the x2, 6800GT, 2 gigs PC3200, XP Pro SP2. in 1280x1024. Could you imagine if Q2 had played like this when it came out? wow. McG. |
