My X2 4400+ FewEgg order is arriving a day early!! :) I ordered FedUp Express Saver, so it was scheduled for tomorrow, but it shows that it's on the truck for delivery. So it won't be long now! :)
Yes, I paid about $45 more than I should have, but I'm absolutely sick and tired of...
Actually, with all of the exciting developments in nanotechnology, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. All it would take is assembling it at the molecular level, something which nanotechnology might one day be able to do (think nanobots). It might not assemble it within seconds like Star...
I wish someone would hurry up and invent the "replicator" found in Star Trek, then there would be enough to go around for everybody. Of course they may have some trouble with people pirating copies of the hardware though.. Clone Wars of a different kind.
Ah! Thank you dr1!! I've been checking various places throughout the day, NewEgg included, but didn't see anywhere that had it in stock. NewEgg must've just put it up a couple of hours ago. Hmm, actually I just noticed that putting "X2 4400" in the search-bar doesn't bring it up. On closer...
This thread feels slightly hijacked with all these benchmarks. Anyone have info on the X2 being in stock somewhere or good pre-order deals? I got burned at ZZF falsely stating it was in stock when I cancelled my TankGuys preorder.. :(
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry. We do understand that this item was listed on our web site as being in stock at the time you had placed your order. Unfortunately, due to unexpected high demands, that item is now on back order. We do not hold items when you place an order and only...
Mine still says "Processing" too, and I ordered at 10:16 am PDT before the price raise as well. If they don't ship mine I'll be majorly pissed, and they will get some nice negative feedback on ResellerRatings too. I cancelled my order with TankGuys that I've had since the beginning of the month.
Yippie!! I got in before they raised the price. $610 with 2nd Day is pretty darn good. Thanks for emailing us TankGuys. I am very impressed with TankGuys -- there are not many retailers out there that would look out for the consumer's benefit more than their own. Actually I'm scratching my...
TankGuys -- I remember you saying something a few pages back about wanting to know if we spotted any retail X2's shipping. Here's a link:

I think people will buy the 4200+ not realizing that the next step up, the 4400+, has double the L2 cache memory, and for just a tiny little bit more cash. The 4400+ is definitely the best performance/price ratio of the bunch. Buying the 4600+ and/or 4800+ is just insane since the speed...
Here's a link to X2 motherboard compatibilty directly from AMD's web site for those who are interested:

Kinda sad to see that DFI isn't listed, although www.dfi-street.com says that support is there for the X2. I guess it's because they are not a "tier 1" company.
Well I happen to dislike Tiger Direct, and Monarch is a bit over-priced, so I think I'll probably go with my gut instinct and use TankGuys. The shipping thing that TankGuys mentioned does make sense. Plus I really like how TankGuys is active in here -- that's also something I really like about...
I just noticed that Tiger Direct has the X2 4400+ for only $545.99!! Monarch, TankGuys? Are you going to respond with a lower price perhaps? :)

I just received my Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample today. I've been searching for good deals everywhere for well over a month. I waited for the Buy.com MSI 6800GT + Doom 3 deal to come through since it's first posting here back on August 2nd. I tried snatching several of the 6800 Ultra deals...
While it's true that you probably won't notice a difference unless there is major fragmentation of your files, it is still good practice because it extends the life of the hard drive. There is a lot more strain on the hard drive head when it has to jump around to different places constantly...
It's dropped to $409.99 now. Of course you'll only get that if you re-order or cause a lot of ruckus. I've been holding out since August 2nd on this, and I'm seriously considering cancelling and ordering somewhere else... The MSI card looks good and the Doom 3 bundle is nice, but there's a...
Anyone hear anything new?
I just emailed MSI directly asking them if they would happen to know when they are going to ship out to Buy.com. I probably won't hear back until at least Monday though...
I just noticed something BAD :|
The original link doesn't work anymore (sends you to their front page).
And even worse, when you browse to try to find the video card this is what you get:

Dammit. :disgust:
Get ready for lots of involuntary...
I haven't received a notice either, just a confirmation of the order. Like you I didn't pay the extra fee for rushing the order (it's on back-order, so it seemed kind of pointless to me) and I also chose the 3-day Select shipping.
Add another one to the list. Now I've got this one on order, and the deal at Buy.com for the MSI 6800GT + Doom 3 bundle with 10% off. Hardware is much more important to me than games though, so this 6800 Ultra overrides the Buy.com deal even though it's a tiny bit more.
I'm crossing my...
Another thing I noticed is that they've updated the product information (before there was practically nothing).

For those of us who haven't cancelled our order yet, let's hope these are indications that it will ship soon!! :)
Well it's Friday. I ordered mine back on August 3rd, and it's now August 20th. I'm starting to get a little irritated. Has anyone's order shipped? Has anyone requested info from Buy.com recently? Any activity at all??
Here is a cutting-edge top-of-the-line state-of-the-art video card for only $149.98. You won't find a price like that anywhere else on the web for this item. What a steal!! (not for you though, for them) Take a look:

Mine has also been cancelled. :( Well we all knew it was too good to be true, but in this crazy world you just never know for sure so you've got to try.
At least I never cancelled my MSI 6800GT with Doom 3 bundle deal at Buy.com. But who knows when that will ship.... :(
I noticed that too about the VIVO, it's only Video Out -- but that's the case for all 6800 video cards right now as far as I can tell. Kinda sucks, but I'd much rather have Video Out than only have Video In.
Compucare is confusing in their listing because they list both the Standard and Golden...
I'm giving it a try too since my MSI 6800GT with Doom 3 bundle at Buy.com hasn't shipped yet (I ordered it a week ago). This looks like a much better deal anyway. If they try to screw with us (i.e. give us a GT or try to charge us more) I say we all report them to the BBB and of course...
I'm seriously considering doing the same thing, but the Buy.com deal is so good (all those games including Doom 3, and with overnight shipping it's under $400!). I think I'm going to wait until the end of the week, and if it hasn't shipped by then I might give in.. :(
Anyone hear anything yet?? I've emailed Buy.com's customer support a couple of times without receiving any response.... Mine is also stuck on "Sent to Warehouse". I know that some other online retailers got some of the MSI 6800GT's in at the end of last week, but of course they sold out...
