I just thought I would inform all that Newegg.com is offering the Athlon 64 X2 5200+ for $259.00. Even though core 2 is still the leader, it's still a pretty good deal. It dropped from about $303.00 to $259.00 in 2 weeks or so.

That is actually pretty good. Too bad the 3800 is the only true competitor against intel at all right now. I got a sweet deal. $159.99 CAD for a x2 3800 EE cam to under $200 after shipping and taxes. You know what else i got a sweet deal on... an 8800GTS, for the same price of $459 CAD i was about to buy the x1950xtx for. Thank you boxing week! 8)

better to stick with the cheapest and still upgradable x2 3800+ am2 socket.....

Well my plan is to stick with this setup until AMD stops making processors compatible with the asus crosshair, then at that point, i'll by the new cpu and a new vid card, i figure 2 -3 years.

That is a good price, and for anyone with an existing AM2 setup with..say.. an x2 3800+, would be a decent upgrade. Of course just overclocking the 3800+ will work, too.

So i had to find an american site call oxide to buy the case from. So the comp is from 3 places lol. Its a bitch too cuz i keep getting emails from all thse places and baAH...

I usually end up back with NCIX, in the end. :wink:

Oh i know, just that those two things NCIX didn't have. Tiger is a crazy overpriced site. Man, my monitor was $270 and after shipping and taxes it was $320. An equivalent thing would be like $20 less on NCIX.

PS. I've been sending NCIX tickets all day to change my order from the x1950xtx to the 8800gts, but then i just found the edit your order tab, lol, they must hate me :wink:

This is something I have always appreciated about you... the blunt honesty.

Ya, and i think i've become even more painfully honest since i was last on, and continue to become more blunt. I really don't know why. 8)
