in 4 one, good deal me think!

 

[IGemini]

The cart link didn't work for me.

Not bad...much better deal if you have a spare cooler hanging around, OEM CPUs don't include one.

If anyone is close to Microcenter, they sell the retail boxed one for $34.99.

PLUS TAX and DRIVING

I think $2.85 more than covers that..

 

[MontyAC]

That's why I indicate "if anyone is close". Tax for me either way. You do get a longer warranty and the cheap heatsink with the retail.

15% coupon works for everything on their site.
Saves me a trip to MicroCenter for a retail G530. Thanks.

Would a G540 be an upgrade over Intel Core2Duo E7200 and E7500 CPUs?

Checked cpubenchmark.net and the G540 does beat them out. Why is it these old Core2Duo and Core2Quad chips are still so expensive on the used market?

 

[bearxor]

I don't think it's be a significant enough upgrade for the intended use unless you just wanted to move off the C2D platform. If you have a HTPC you're happy with, don't bother. If you're trying to build a new low-end gaming rig you can update later, this is probably a good start.

The G620 OEM goes for $49.60 on SuperBiiz.


I'm debating...'rents are still using a P4 that's really showing its age with a fan on its way out. Been doing budget shopping for an SB or Llano build.

because if you need one to replace just the chip folks figure you'll ante up...

 

[Tattare]

Anyone recommend a mobo for the G540?

 

[khurios2000]

G540 is a nifty little chip it runs competitively against Phenom X4 805 (2.5Ghz)

[antmanbee]

I think that is the i3 540 not the celeron G540 in the comparison.

correct but here are some comparisons if you look at the graphs.
