I got mine from onvia though. Just bought my p3-700 from him. Runs great at 933.

Central Scutinizer,

I can trade my Epox 6VBA Via133A Slot1 board for your MSI Athron board.

LMK if you are interested.

 

[KRAUT]

Where is the $20 off promotion and how do you enter it. Also does buy.com sell an Slotket adapter?

I think it depends on your location...I called on monday and they told me it's out of stock and on back order...yet i got mine today..

junior member...a little advise...do a little research before you ask about those coupon questions..you can find the coupon code simply by searching the forum database....

I received mine today (well, at this point yesterday meaning Wednesday). Having already gotten an MSI-6905 Master, I am ready to throw it into the mobo. However, since the mobo right now is an Intel CC820 (poor me) I am not doing anything to this board! The VC820 replacement should be here by the end of the week at which point I can play.

I read on the intel support site a post by an individual who has this same Celeron, the MCI-Master and the vc820. Apparently he simply set the FSB to 100 on the MSI and is getting 850-ish mhz out of this chip with the regular heatsink/fan.

We shall see soon enough!

Out of stock now! Who knows next ETA???

 

[Celstar]

So those of you who received theirs.... give us some O/C results!

 

[OhMan]

Fxxx, buy.com raised the price on this CPU!!

 

[Insomniac]

Dschell: I don't think you can overclock with the VC820 board.

 

[Kenjack]

Received mine yesterday. 850mhz out of the box at default voltage on an ASUS P2B-F with Slocket! Rock STABLE! What a bargain!!!

 

[Crazybubba]

To those that got your retail celeron 2, could you post your results and setup here:

I am unable to run stable at 850 with my retail from buycomp. I'm using the ms 6905 ver 1.1 (not fully compatible with coppermine) on a MS 6163pro. I'm going to put it in a soyo 6-III next. Wish me luck.

Insomniac: The VC820 itself has no inherent overclocking abilities, but the MSI-6905Master (v2.2) should allow me to trick the mobo into thinking I have a coppermine 100FSB chip. We shall see. The mobo arrived this morning and with any luck, I may get to play with it this afternoon.

Cheers!

i was running 533@800 with my other celeron, popped it out, and put in the buy.com one with a golden orb... win2k would lock up while loading at 850 @1.65v

I sold my vc820 because 1. I can't add memory at the present prices.
2.no overclocking ability on it. 3.with the money I can buy a BX Dma66
133fsb board and probably a P III celly too and more memory. (got $370 for it).anyway, I ordered a celly 566 still says sent to warehouse, but buycomp usually emails me that my order shipped after I already got it(kind of backwards huh). I hope it comes soon so I can try my first overclocking adventure. With one of my systems now running
a P III 450 on an MSI 6163.

 

[cisco]

now buycom-p says still on B.O. no word on when will ship

 

[Insomniac]

DSchell: Keep me up to date, I'm expecting a VC820 soon.

 

[ABErickson]

Central Scutinizer, Buy.com did the same thing to me. Sent me the MSI-6195 Athlon board instead of the 6163 BX-board. I'll probably return it for the BX board, but I have been thinking about an Athlon/AMD system.

 

[IBhacknU]

raised the price....

Don't you all know? They have a habit of raising prices for free shipping weekends.

Good thing it's only $2.00

 

[Central Scutinizer]

Big Al-
Talked to buy.com this morning, and they offered to send me a label to return the 6195, and then they would send me the 6163PRO. I said I couldn't wait that long. The rep. talked to a supervisor, and she said they would send me the 6163 out today. But they also said it would show up in my account, and I would get an e-mail, neither of which has happened. I hope they are not looking too close at the coupon I used on the order.

I let you know what happens. I might go with the Athlon, too, but $56 for the Celeron (at 850) vs. $190 for a Athlon 700 cpu is hard to beat.

 

[mechwarrior]

Ordered one on Monday 6/26 when it was backordered. Received it today Thursday 6/29. Just lucky, I guess. I hope I'm just as lucky oc'ing it.

 

[Lmandrake]

Ordered mine on Sunday, UPS delivers it to the wrong building where someone signed for it. Last time this happened to me it only took 15-20 days to work it all out. UPS IS SUCK!!!

 

[fxsts]

I am very happy for you guys getting the chip cheap by reading my thread. There is only thing I want say to Buy.com.

"BUY.COM, WHERE THE HELL IS MY CHIP!!!"

Again, I am very happy for you all.

 

[ABErickson]

Central Scutinizer, if they charge you, I would be curious to know what amount it is for. If they just recharge the same amount again ($45), I would take the boards and run.

 

[cisco]

they emailed me that my order was cancelled , then another email saying it shipped and I could keep it or refuse delivery. I don't know which email was first? I just hope it was shipped!!!

 

[jhm40]

Got mine today. Rock solid at 850@1.62v Soyo BA+VI. Temp never exceed 28C. What a bargain! I am thinking of selling my PIII.
