Nice Bundle CompGeek's 8KHA+ And XP 1700+ $79

[BadSweetums]

Computer Geek's are offering used EPoX EP-8KHA+ motherboards bundled with AMD Athlon XP 1700+ processors. No mention of heatsink or back shield plate. Only a 90 day warranty.

Motherboard with processor installed, no cables or anything else mentioned. I figure these are better (performance-wise) than the ECS/Duron bundles usually available at Fry's and anyone can get one.

Use promotion code "MasterCard Exclusives" and get an additional 10% off the purchase price.

Nice deal, should be able to see large overclocks out of the bundle.

Not necessarily. I have seen Pally 1700+ at 2ghz and higher.

You'd have to tweak out the chip's bridges to get higher multipliers. 8KHA+ has no PCI/AGP lock so I can't recommend tweaking out the FSB.

On the palomino, I would only expect around 1.66/2000+ or 1.73/2100+ as the max overclock.

that code doesnt even fit in the field where you insert codes... what is the right code??

 

[BadSweetums]

My bad. The correct way as copied from the MasterCard Exclusives web site. You may also get a free
10-CD carrying case.

Just enter "MC Exclusives" in the customer comments section when placing your order.

Couldn't get the discount to work. There was a mouse pad entered into my shopping cart though.

not sure how good the EPoX EP-8KHA+ mobo is, but fry's seems to have better deals (ie xp2000+ w/ ecs k7vta3 mobo for $65; swap the cpu for the xp2400+ for $85).

Might be available on outpost.com, which is the online version of Frys. They don't always have similar deals though.
