<< INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K SECC2 CPU OEM (1 YEAR WARRANTY) $208.95 >>


That's what I see.

Is this a good deal? Are these cb0 stepping? These run at 100Mhz FSB to get 750, right... so 7.5x multiplier?

Atacom seems to sell 50 variations of every CPU, some mention the stepping, some don't. The particular $209 chip doesn't mention stepping... I'm wondering if this is a &quot;reject&quot; from their pre-certified pile of chips?

Here is what I see in order of price:

INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K SECC2 CPU OEM (1 YEAR WARRANTY) $208.95
INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K FCPGA CPU OEM (20 DAY WARRANTY) $261.95
INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K SECC2 CPU OEM (20 DAY WARRANTY) $289.95
INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K FCPGA CPU W/O FAN OEM (1 YEAR WARRANTY) $279.95
INTEL P III 750 FCPGA CPU -CBO STEPPING W/O FAN OEM (20 DAY WARR.) $289.95
INTEL P III 750 SECC2 CPU -CBO STEPPING W/O FAN OEM (20 DAY WARR.) $318.95
INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K FCPGA CPU W/FAN (3 YEAR WARRANTY) $319.95
INTEL P III 750 FCPGA CPU-CB0 STEPPING RETAIL W/FAN (3 YEAR WARR.) $339.95
INTEL P III 750 100HZ/256K SECC2 CPU W/FAN RETAIL(3 YEAR WARRANTY) $364.95
INTEL P III 750 SLOT 1 CPU-CB0 STEPPING RETAIL W/FAN (3 YEAR WARR.) $389.95
-
Note the one of interest doesn't say fan, nor does it say cb0 stepping... the 1 year warrenty vs. 20-day warrenty, any clue on why they offer that difference?

Your link above has a session ID cart on it... try this http://www.atacom.com/program/atacom_www.cgi?Pagecode=4|CPUX|FAN2|FAN5|THER#CPUXIP3X

Thanks for any help.

Hey, is this slot 1??? Damn... I just spent $ on a celeron... but I am very tempted to pick this up...

 

[Hohlraum]

I've known more than a couple people who have had bad problems with atacom.

Take the Onvia deal for the PIII 700 Retail Box. Just time it to match the pointclick site and add on that $25 Amex deal. Check the other postings on this forum.

You will most likely get a cb0 stepping with fan and heatsink and a 3 year warranty......plus free shipping. Mine came from PA warehouse to MA in about a week (including the 7/4 holiday).

To Bonkers325: When I use your link I can pull up personal order information for someone named George--you may want to change your link.

 

[falconx88]

shipping is like $10 at least for ups ground

 

[Coki]

Atacom.com they are not stupid they know what they are doing. Those are probably cA0 stepping that dont overclock well.

Take the onvia.com deal instead. Great service and prices.

 

[mrVW]

Yha, I think I'm going to cancel my order -- this isn't a &quot;very hot deal&quot; -- this is bottom of the barrel 750... maybe a few will get lucky because of many orders, but I bet these are pre-tested or pre-inspected and known to not be cb0 or have poor overclock performance. The fact they sell 8 versions of the same chip is a big clue

 

[bonkers325]

yeah but still for that price a 750mhz not too shabby

 

[1337Bryan]

KILL THAT LINK! unless you like having your credit card (which expires 05/02) available to everyone with half a brain.

 

[bonkers325]

what credit card #
are u talking about george
?
what george

 

[KRAUT]

Received a reply to my order this morning saying the price listed was a mistake and that they would not fill my order. Said the correct price was $309.

 

[Nightwatch]

Like it was said, check threads for the Onvia.com deal on the PIII 700, retail, cb0 steping, 3 year warranty for under $215

 

[DataFly]

Just a note, both the AMEX and regular Onvia coupons for $25 off $200 have officially expired. Whether or not they still work I do not know...

If they no longer work the closest you're going to get to $215 is ~$237, through Pointclick.

Edit: I just realized you have 1 hour left before they expire.:Q HURRY!!!

 

[bonkers325]

still works as i am typing
just tried it
works fine

Atacom is suck, at least 2 years ago.

I ordered a BH6 and a case 2 years ago from them and the case power supply was bad. Not their fault, but I had to call them several times before they would even give me an RMA number, and I never received the replacement even after I mailed them the bad power supply. I called them back several weeks later, and they had no record of my even being a customer! It's not worth the hassle to me.

 

[dabuddha]

i dunno
i just purchased an abit motherboard and a celeron 600 for a friend
both items came in on time and work great

 

[Splortch]

No wonder it's so cheap, it only &quot;100hz&quot; bus

 

[Conroy9]

I just bought a 64mb geforce leadtek2 from atacom, it came quickly so i have no complaints
