Buying unlocked durons

[Techwhore]

hey, i've seen some posts going around listing sites that sell unlocked and pretested duron/t-bird's. I'm lookin to buy a 600/650 @ 950+. This is a site i found in another post http://ocz.safeshopper.com/ I'm curious if there are any other sites like this for price comparison and whatnot. Another thing... these guys aren't listed on Resellerratings.com so i'm hestitant. If anyone's ordered anything please LMK how it's gone, I am aware of their back orders. Thanks guys

They are ligit, but slow. They also have a crappy return policy, IMO. Check out Text for more info. I just made an order from them.

i know, i came across their return policy. It does suck that you can't get cash back, but they're open to exchange and give you a three month warranty. If anyone can point me to another site that'd be great, preferrably one in the US

I bought a pretested duron600@950 from www.getoverclocked.com. They are in Canada, not the US, but since their prices are in Canadian dollars it may still be worth it.

None of these places reveal the voltage at which it's running or what heatsink/fna combo they used. At least the above site suggested under 50 degrees, but that's pretty implicit... Their prices are a little high as well, nevertheless, thank you and keep em coming!

AtaCom has had a selection in the past, their pickings are a little slim now, but might have what you want.

I opted to not go with a "guaranteed" chip, and just take my chances. if i wanted a faster chip, id just buy one, OC'ing itself is most of the fun for me.

I have a Duron 900 on order with overclockerz since Sept 5, I got one confirmation email but haven't heard a thing since. I knew ordering it that they would take awhile, but does anyone have a clue as to went I might expect it? The rest of the stuff is coming anyday.

just an idea, why not buy one at buy.com for less than $80, buying a graphite pencil about 10 cents, and playing connect the dots?

i got mine (duron 600mmz) for $70 and it runs stable at 900, i have not pushed it to 950 yet

Check here for people's opinions on Overclockerz.com. Let's just say it is not a good place to buy from right now....
