The 4200+ is going to easily do 2.65 ghz, all you do is throw in the 333mhz memory divider, and up the FSB to 240, and lower the HDT ratio to 3x. Now, how much voltage this will take is the question. My best guess is no more than an extra .05V, which should be well within reason.

The higher multi and nice heat sink make the 4200+ a no-brainer upgrade for ~$25 over the 3800+ x2.

Doesn't the 4200 & 3800 both come with the same heatsink?

Fry's has the 4200+ x2 with the ECS K8T-890 for $249.99 in todays paper.
The 3800+ x2 with the ECS C51GM-M board is for 199.99.

Sorry, I thought there was something about August in there. Gotta love quoting from memory

Glad you got the date though.

Intel Core 2 Extreme processor based systems and boxed product are expected to be available on the day of launch, 27 July. Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems and boxed product [through places such as Newegg] are expected to be available from 7 August. Each OEM has their own product introduction / transition cycles based upon their target market segment and current product offerings. We expect some to offer product in August with more introductions extending through September. Check with the OEMs of your choice to get their specific message on system availability.

I guess I remembered better than I thought...

Should be on newegg this week.

it will never hit $40, no sempron, nor celeron has even hit that low that i know of...

you're absolutly crazy, monarch's prices are nearly $5-$10 over what AMD released as the OEM WHOLESALE prices, and in terms of RETAIL the 4600+ is nearly $60 less ($240) than AMD suggested ($301) for the cpu... that's about a 57% discount! (over last week's prices - $550)

The X2 4200 I bought this past March came with a regular aluminum heatsink.

I would hit that before it permanently disapears... 4400+ is EOL...

Bummer to hear about that HS, good thing there is copper Zalman waiting for that chip anyway

S939 3800+ X2 $153 - Mwave -

 

[lsman]

Outpost.com AM2 3800+ also lower price (not 939) and with free shipping

How about this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185023

no need to get the mobo out to install back plate and universal for other socket (so you can switch to 775... later. )

 

[DannyLove]

i'm going with mwave... I just saw they have the 4200+ in stock now for $188, screw it. i'm biting, I want to have everything this week.

holy crap, it went out of stock in less then 2 minutes.

 

[ProsperoLT]

probably a cancelled order

 

[teiresias]

They've also removed everything except the 3800+, 4200+, and 4600+ X2's from the listing entirely now. Perhaps not anticipating restock of anything else?

 

[lsman]

Mwave OOS quick...

 

[ProsperoLT]

their motherboard bundles are still in stock

[DannyLove]

Its been OOS and back in stock all this morning, so keep refreshing that page if you wish to buy from mwave. I finally got through and ordred the 4200+ X2, with CA tax and 3 day shipping it came out to $210 total

 

[blckgrffn]

That's why I ordered at 7am, folks

I wanted a 4600+ for the GF, but a 4200+ will have to do, plus it's lighter on the wallet...

This should almost be its own thread, watching mwave...

Hey OP, could you edit the title, please?

Thanks,
Nat

3800+ and 4600+ BACK IN STOCK PEOPLE @ MWAVE. . . GO GO GO GO !!!!!!!!!

Still showing 7/25 for the 4200+, I'll admit, it's mainly the free copy of AoE3 that got me to go that way, lol!! I haven't played a good RTS in forever (mainly because I suck at them, but that's beside the point).

 

[teiresias]

Newegg 4200+ (939) is now at $199. The 3800+ is staying put at $289 though.

[EDIT] Strike that, on the main page the 3800+ was still showing at $289, but when I checked my wish list it was listed at $169.
