Barton 2600+ in Frys combo hot ?

[teKillah]

Frys has a ECS + Athlon 2600+ combo for 109.99 in this weekends ad for Northern/Southern CA.

It has been reported that folks have been getting the 2600+ Barton. If this is the case then I think it is pretty hot !!!

Anybody checked this out yet ?

Im sure the Barton is YMMV.. might drop by Fry's in W.H later on to see what i get

 

[amdskip]

How much is it? I wish there was a Fry's remotely close to here.

I got the Barton and a K7VTA3 rev 5 for $110 in Wilsonville, OR.

At Renton Fry's, it is an Abit KD7A mobo plus an Athlon XP 2600+ for $109. Anybody buy this combo at Renton Fry's and what cpu did they get (barton or not)?

 

[Daroo]

I bought this combo this morning. How do I find out whether this is Barton or not?

I bought my combo @ Industry, CA Frys.

This combo originally was advertised on Friday in Nocal also as a $109.99 deal. Seems at the time people were receiving T-bred 2600+ cpus vs Bartons. Apparently Fry's adertised this combo again in todays paper (Sunday) and may have changed the cpu included to Bartons now instead of T-breds. Definitely a hot deal if it is Bartons today. Going to check it out, thx for the heads up.

There is no barton 2600+. It has to be 2500+. 1.83 Ghz, 333FSB nad 640kb cache...But this is very hot...

These aren't bartons?

 

[MrCodeDude]

I've got to wait until they pair it up with a better board.

 

[psihog]

This is hot, even if it's not a barton core 2600.
going down there today to buy a hard drive.. might as well get this combo too.
thanks.

the board's pretty stable, 100000000000x better than that k7s5a crap

 

[cfb44]

definately the Barton in Irving, TX, but they are out of the ECS board. no subs allowed :frown:

Apologies....did not know of 2600+ bartons. From when they became available?...

 

[gsethi]

I would say its a good deal but the $59.xx 1800+ (retail) and the same ECS board is a much better bang for the buck (especially when you are not going to use the ECS board).

 

[HobartPaving]

definitely a barton. just look at the printout you take to the register. it says barton on there. tons of boards avail in fountain valley fry's when i was there about an hour ago. i counted like 20+ boards on the shelves. some of them were returns, but easy to find unopened box.

 

[puppyfriend]

Here in the SF Bay. It's marked as a barton on the deal sign by processors.

That board is not crap. Must be the operator. I purchased over 20 of them and never had a single problem.

No, it is crap. I've built systems for years now and the k7s5a is easily and by far the worst motherboard I've ever used.

 

[puppyfriend]

I agree that these are great boards. I've built 5 of them for myself and friends and they are rock solid. Definitely user error. Some people should only buy from Dell or Gateway. Just plug it in and go.
