compgeeks.com has some pretty cheap USED athlons, got a 2000 for $49.00. Works great.
Mine was in stock, but shows OOS right now. Hopefully this CC thing will get fixed before they void the order (3 days).Originally posted by: Salvador
Were any of these chips in stock when you guys ordered? Everything seems to be out of stock now.

probably OT but... how do you refurbish a processor?! They consist of a silicon chip, wires that lead to pins, and packaging... Can't repair a silicon chip, so I guess they just go over the wires? Maybe they repair scratches or chips on the processor packaging?
Anyway still a good deal... I would feel perfectly comfortable buying a refurbished chip, knowing they can't really 'refurbish' much.

I'm in the process of quieting down my current pc so that it may be put to greener pastures as a HTPC. Currently a 1ghz T-bird in an abit KT7A-Raid. If I popped in a 2200+ mobile from newegg, would that significantly drop cpu temps? I'd love to run my cpu fan at lower RPMs.
Thanks,
