Ya, probaly. Newegg must be making nothing as well.

I like the deal, its just 939 though. Wish it was AM2.

If somebody knows what they are doing (and the girls and boys at Stanford seem to) it is easy to use this CPU with the ATI X1800XT and higher graphics cards and build a 100 gigaflop computer using the GPU as an accelerator. That's about 2.5 times the fanciest core 2 but you have to have IMC to do it. http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-ATI.html

Yea my friend just got an FX on that deal, Wish I wouldve waited just a little longer, I got an 3800+ which performs not that far behind the FX. But since he won a C2d, he's giving me his FX55. So the extra 200MHz & 1MB of cache certainly couldnt hurt.

As with most of the FX CPU's, they dont have much room for OC'ing.
On air I'd say 2.8GHz Easy.

I dont see why any 939 user with a 3500+ or below wouldnt consider this deal. Specially with a free 250GB HDD. For people that dont do much multitasking and play their fair share of games, Its a nice deal.

The only thing that prevents me from buying it is its socket 939. Not AM2.

If it was, I would be the next to buy.

Omg... that'd be quite a step up from my 2.0gHz AMD 64 2800+...

Id have to buy a new mobo too, and im poor.

Id also have to reinstall windows. thats a pain, specially cause my version is not quite legal.

i got this deal actually

but i'm a tard and read the CPU Support list for my Epox 9NDA3+ wrong 8O


and it wouldn't work


so i got a refurb A8V from mwave for $30~ and it is quite nice...


although more work than the drop in CPU replacement i was hoping for

but ya' know ..... did give me an excuse to dust out the ol' computer case.

I so wish I could get in on this deal. Too bad for this poor little south african...

:\ yea it sux they dont ship 2 europe :$ here it cost $700 without the HD lol :´|
