$582... ouch! Makes my 1,7 look like a flaming bargain!

Holy Crap! That's an expensive freekin' chip. Granted it's probably fast and beautiful and all, I'm not straying from the AMD's T-Bird series.

I love 'em so very very much <sniff> lol

yep...i dont think ill buy a P4 until they come out with the new ones on the 0.13 micron process and 512 kb of cache...right now the upgrade path for the current p4 is very limited

hell ya, shes such a babe!

sorry that was OT, just thought Flats sig was funny,
but On Topic, i agree with what dave said, next revision of P4 will be much more promising

 

[Flat]

yep, I have a bunch of signed stuff that i bought off the auction on her website, gaws.ao.net, I am a forum mod too

 

[bacillus]

you'll notice that while it's listed, it's not in stock!

 

[MrHelpful]

Waiting for Texmaster...

 

[MGMorden]

If it's not in stock that's almost surely tentative pricing. It'll be less when they're really selling them.

$582 was the price Intel quoted for the 1.8 P4 part. Not all that surprising. Is it way overpriced? Of course, but people will buy it nonetheless.

 

[Ryan]

Another processor for intel people. Hey, it's their money. If they wanna waste it, let them

 

[BurntKooshie]

I can't believe you guys call that incredibly expensive, considering the past costs of microprocessors....

 

[Ryan]

Screw past processor prices, we're dealing w/ prices today. You can a 1.4ghz Athlon for 168 bucks. You're screwing yourself over if you buy a p4 1.8ghz

 

[Degenerate]

hmm. Why a 1.8 and 1.6 ? I just cant wait for the .13 micron chip.

 

[N8Magic]

Northwood and a DDR mobo... awwwwwwww yeah!

Can't wait 'til the fall! I think the Northwood P4's are going to start at 2.0 GHz? No?

 

[anime]

not going to have any intel based machine any time soon. Not until they stop charging premium price on their cpus. It's nuts!

 

[V]

That's more than double my processor speed:frown:

Well, looking at the $582 price tag of the 1.8GHz P4, we compare to

Athlon 1.4/266 - $162
EpoX 8K7A - $130
512MB PC2100DDR- $94
------
$386 (components)
$ 29 (shipping fees)
- $582 (cost of P4 1.8GHz at launch)
------
$167

Figure $415 with shipping, and that's being generous. You've got cash to spare for a decent Radeon or a GeForce2 of some sort. Or extra RAM, or a nice hard drive, whatever tickles the fancy.

Overpriced? Yes, I'd say so.

 

[magicslax]

vaporware: it's only a foggy mist until i see one.

as that would be a p4, i'll try my hardest to avoid visual contact.

Overpriced? Now, whatever gave you that idea?

 

[julianf]

why? my p4 is running stable nooooo problem
