[navyac]

wow, those are pretty hefty drops, a 3000 for under $100.

 

[Gigantopithecus]

Similar prices at mwave, too.

 

[AmpedSilence]

Add to it the Abit M/B at ZipZommFly for 49.99 and you have your self a pretty decent system!

Now we just need fry's to bring out the combo's for $79.99 or $99.99!!

 

[astrocase]

ajump has it for $252 a their website.

 

[sunzt]

price wars FTW!

Opterons haven't changed though.

 

[imported_nitrus]

ajump has the 3500 for 118, pricegrabber has a misprint? for ajump's 3800 for 150, but zzf has it for 168.

Man, that's nice. Makes me wish I hadn't spent $150 on my 3200+ Venice like 2 months ago, but oh well.

 

[brian2kgt]

That is nice..makes me wish I hadn't spent $135 on my 3200+ Venice like 2 DAYS ago.

 

[hornet2060]

Are theese prices gonna fluctuate like ram prices have been doing? or will they only get lower as time goes by?

RAM fluctuates, but as a whole CPU prices go steadily downward. There might be small ups and downs, but a month from now the price of any mainstream CPU will be lower, a month later it'll be lower still and a month later lower again.

s939 3800 $149 + s&h at mwave. $146 if you buy it with mobo.

 

[Ichigo]

Meh, dual cores haven't changed. That's all that matters.

I think RAM might fluctuate more because there are many manufacturers, each with their own inventory issues. Whereas CPU inventories are probably more tightly controlled by Intel and AMD. I think.

There are BP and BW models. I would Almost bet that the BW models have DSL Silicon. Which will help to get Higher frequencys

Great prices, but I'm not buying any new hardware until I find one game that my 2500+ and Radeon 9800 pro can't handle. So far is has taken on all challengers, Oblivion, HL2, etc... were no match.

Aw come on! Be an enthusiast! Think about the extra WU you can get @folding.

 

[astrocase]

BTW, if you saw what Oblivion looked like at 1920x1200 with HDR on you'd chuck that 9800 out the window. Try BF2 with that card....

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

hehe- lol. He IS right tho. I find a 2500+ barton (especially one easy OC'd to 3200+) and a 9800pro/xt, pretty much still handles everything well. I am mad because I thought I got a good deal on 2 a643000-retail939venice at 104ea shipped a couple weeks ago and now this mess happens. DAMN YOU MR BAD TIMING!
