Where is the best place to buy a P3 800mhz?

[DELUX]

Well here the deal I got about two grand to spend and I for one want a P3 800mhz. And i was wondering where the best place to get one was. So if anyone has any ideas as to where to get one it would be very much appreciated, also if you have any sugestions as to what else to get that would be cool too.(I have already thought about buying a Voodoo and a Ge-Force2 so mentioning that is not necessery.

Why not try to search on http://www.pricewatch.com/ or http://www.ibuyer.net/?

Get a PIII 650E with cBO stepping, and pair it with an alpha cooler, and you should be able to get around 950MHz. They can be purchased from www.pcnut.com. Get one, I just did, ;-).

hehehe PNF2,
you are strange.
He wants a P3 800MHz, maybe he wants to overclock
over 1 GHz with his 800MHz.

Try atacom.com btw.

Don't get an 800, get a 650 or 700 to overclock. They're cheaper, and they let you use high bus speeds which really help those quake 3 frame rates. A p3 550 at 825 (150FSB) beats a real 866 (133FSB) easily.

I bought a retail P3-800 (all have cB0 stepping btw) for $397. Pretty damned good price considering it's retail. I used the $25 coupon (I htink it expired tho :\ ) and free shipping to Cali.

I have this thing clocked at 1GHZ exactly on my Abit BE6-II.

personally id rather go for an Athlon system myself...ahem

anyway, i say spend a week or two at the auctions. I got an athlon 750 system at onsale.com for 650 with shipping, and i think thats a pretty good deal. And i know theyve got deals and auctions on p3-700s and maybe higher, overclock that!

heres one: Intel® PIII-750, 128MB, 15GB HD, 10/100 LAN, 8MB, 56K (New)

799 buck plus shipping, that looks good to me


or you can try a number of other auction sites, no reason to blow the whole 2 grand if you dont gotta right? Of course youll need amonitor, catcha 10 minute auction during the week at Onsale and get a 17" one for 150 or less easy, plus shipping of course, but still thats pretty good.

oh, look here:

Intel® Pentium III-800, 128MB, 15GB HD, 10/100 LAN, 8MB, 56K (New) $849.00


that about what you want? ... http://www.egghead.com/category/Desktop_Computers~2~3.htm


or try one of the big companies like Dell or Gateway, they use P3's right? Get one from them at twice the price or more and drop your whole wad of cash
