Still need a Socket 939?

[alkemyst]

Waiting to jump to Opt 185 from my 4000+ I got for $79 from newegg a while ago.

That 4800+ was tempting though.

I am running 2.4@2.83 (283x10)

Since this is the best my Socket 939 mobo could ever have I think this might be a pretty attractive option for a good price...

Yeah I got my 4800 today and just got done installing it. As you can see- it's working!

WOAH! When I posted less than 5 hours ago not only was the 4800+ not in stock at the egg... it wasn't even listed on their site as an item they carry. This is what I get for waiting 5 hours -- $20 less and a better experience purchasing from Newegg! w00t!
Thanks for the heads-up Johnnie, I wouldn't have checked Newegg again before purchasing.

Eps.

Edit: maybe it was listed at Newegg after all and I just didn't see it because it was at the end of the list marked as out of stock.

 

[Epsil0n00]

Just made the purchase from Newegg... at the time of my last post they had 46 available... by the time I made the purchase a few minutes ago they were down to 30 available. Good thing I saw this tonight as they might have been OOS by tomorrow morning.

Holy hey. Newegg hasn't had a 4800 in stock for ages. (You can see that the last review is from January.) I hope they have a whole bunch of them and that they do one of those e-mail newsletter discounts.

Would an XP-90 cool the 4800?

OOS

 

[Epsil0n00]

they were down to 26 available during the early morning hours... and now they are OOS. Man I am glad that I saw that deal--it only lasted about 12 hours!

wow that was fast..

got my order in at 10/16/2007 4:40:51 AM PST


hopefully it will do more then my x2 3800+@2.7, and i can finally put a dual core into my secondary box that the kids are about to get. Then one more pci-e GPU upgrade and 939 is done for me.

It's back at the Egg but now at $115.99

You must have a better browser.

Newegg X24800 119.99

TigerDirect X24800 119.99

 

[beastyben1]

Thats funny Old Hippie. At about 5pm EST it was $115.99. Guess they can just keep creeping the price up as long as there is demand.

Is Toledo is good as it gets for the 939 series?

 

[Old Hippie]

Thats funny Old Hippie. At about 5pm EST it was $115.99.

Really? It wasn't meant to be. The price at 5:52 EST and 8:11Pm EST was, and is, 119.99. I even cleared my cookies.

 

[alkemyst]

what's the fastest non-opteron now for the S939?

 

[bigsnyder]

4200+ X2 Manchester for $63.50 shipped at newegg.

 

[beastyben1]

I got the auto notification from NewEgg at 4:53pm EST and followed the link to where it was 115.99

 

[freshspace]

I need your help in getting one of these. Which one would you buy, and why?

1. $119 for the 4800+ OEM (newegg)
2. $99 + shipping for the 4400+ (TD)
3. $119 for Opteron 170 from zzf
4. $63.50 for the 4200+ (newegg)

I am concerned by the heat output. Opteron 170 supposedly gets hot when OCed; 4800+ doesn't OC as much as Opteron, but is cooler, and is OEM; 4400+ not sure much about it but it is cheaper with full retail warranty (TD charges shipping, but you get the copper pipe cooler and only 200mhz slower than the 4800+; and 4200+ is nice, but only 512k per core L2 cache. I want 1M per core. Not sure if it will truly be faster, but I feel it is better?! Help!!! I want to buy one of these soon, before they run out. Can someone give me a real life answer? Please, no C2D talk. Thank you.

I am hoping so because I have the same heatsink. I am guessing it will because the retail HSF is smaller than the XP-90.

Mine shows up tomorrow.

Does anyone know if I will have to reinstall XP to get both cores running?

@freshspace

After comparing some benchmarks, I felt that the 4200+ X2 was the best value for my needs. The 4800+ X2 just wasn't fast enough IMO to justify spending the difference in price. If I was needing an upgrade for a gaming machine, then I might have given the 4800+ a more serious look. My 4200+ X2 is going in a HTPC. $63.50 shipped was just too good to pass up.

Ahhh, you got the promo code. You can post those.

Nope, it should run right outta the box. I swapped my 3500 for an X2-4800 and it's been running just fine for 1 1/2 yrs. Depending upon your OS, board's features, and games you play, you may have to apply some "fixes".
