Blow Out Special WOW, AMD Athlon 1600+CPU OEM - From Newegg! ($54.99!)

[BigJ]

wow, looks like Nutrend raised their prices now to 64.99
Newegg has em back in stock for 62.99

 

[SLEEPER5555]

well they are now 62.99 shipped on newegg. are these palimino or are they thoghobred? and yes i know i cannot spell no need to point it out

 

[Stevem627]

I ordered from NuTrend since NewEgg was OOS. Got mine a little earlier and they were $54.99 now $64.99!

These have got to be the same business or else they ripped NewEgg off unmercifully on the web design...which I doubt.

 

[stevejst]

RUN!!!!!
Run, they will never be back again so low. Buy two, three ...

 

[locutus4]

hmmm, why it called the Athlon 1600 if its only 1.4ghz???

 

[dew042]

FYI:

TBRED CORES are coming in a couple weeks for everything 1700+ and above...... that's why they are blowing them out....


I'd wait for the newer cores, but whatever....

dew.

Buy low, sell high, Dew. And since I can't do the latter with these CPUs, I still aim to do the former. When the t-breds come out, they're not going to be going for anywhere near $60.

locutus4, long story short, it's a rating for marketing purposes. Anand and many others have articles from way back when that'll explain it. Some people say it's foolish, but people buying systems are mostly foolish so it's necessary.

I got a price alert e-mail from newegg today but by the time I saw it in my inbox they removed the free shipping :/

you are saying they are going raise 1700+ 1800+ 1900+ 2000+ 2100+ prices? umm, yeah, that's likely.....

anything significant would be economic suicide. tbreds cost less to manufacturer since they use less silicon and best of all - they are easier to unlock (one bridge connected and unlocked - we can use the pencil again).... but whatever, have fun.

OK, got home, opened the box, looked at the core, looked again because those letters are SO small, double-triple checked and drum-roll please:

AGOIA

So that is what nutrend shipped out to me on Monday for $61 shipped.

 

[kimber]

i hope the 1600's newegg just restocked are the agoia core.cause i just sold my old 1600 and bought one of those.

 

[kimber]

were most the neweggs agoia?

What rock did you crawl out from under?

 

[BuckMaster]

kimber yes the last few weeks have been.

 

[Flaredair]

Back in Stock again at Newegg for $59.99, go and get em... :Q

 

[lsman]

just pick up one Tyan MPX (S2466N) for $125 in newegg refurb. (some left NOW)

anyway to use a XP as a MP?

 

[fatBrain]

It's so attempting....
Look like the retailers are clearing the inventory and paving the way for Tbred Athlons.
Buy, or Wait? hum.....

 

[Flaredair]

fatbrain yes yes and a yes

 

[fatBrain]

Any one here knows if Gigabyte GA-7VRX has 1/5 PCI divider?

Damn.....my wallet is hating you guys. New 1600+ and PSU on the way... Now to sweet-talk my Visa people into a limit increase so that I can continue to surf AT

" Now to sweet-talk my Visa people into a limit increase "

those are the evil words.

This your first day dealing with computer hardware? It's a great price, but there is no CPU deal so hot that it won't be repeated soon. Hell, a month from now when Intel drops prices and AMD follows suit, everyone in this thread will be saying "D'oh!! I paid $60 a month ago and now they're $47.50". If you need a CPU now, sure, jump on this, but if you don't need one for a week or two, wait, they'll be cheaper.

 

[dago10]

what is the best fan to use with this cpu?? plan on o/c

Thanks

 

[1313]

OK, I ordered one from newegg!

Now please tell me if I have the drill down?

I set the multiplier at 10.5 and FSB at 166Mhz....... and the 1600 XP+ Agoia will OC while locked?
