yah i know...april 22nd...thats so long from now...this poor thoroughbred 2700+ is like a dinosaur!!

Or you can buy it now and spend $2.3 per day for the next 14 days

Frys sells it for $150 with a mobo, and I'm sure that package will soon go down to the $120 that the x24200+ is at. The prices will keep getting cheaper and cheaper, obviously, and one store will always have it cheaper than the store you bought it from a day after you buy it.

The OEM version for $133.9...http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=E4300

What processor are you upgrading from?

 

[Newf]

He said he was upgrading from a 2700+ t-bred which is an athlon xp. Yea he is definitely due for an upgrade.

Sorry, I still need more coffee to read straight this morning...
Based on that then, this is one of the few times an AsRock board could make sense.

 

[clintwestmetal]

The way this processor can overclock is nuts, when I hopefully upgrade later this year it'll make a difference from my 2200+. :lol:

 

[Newf]

Absolutely.
But now if we do that, then there is the cost of DDR2 ram and a PCI-E videocard to consider as well as the mobo upgrade...

thats whats killing me on the upgrade...memory and gfx card....and i refuse to buy a card until amdti and nvidia show us their new stuff....

even if the 8600gt isn't the bomb it'll knock the prices down on a lot of things....and amd's offerings are going to drop x1900 prices to 100 bucks.

I really want a 8800GTS 320Meg version...but 300 is 2 much...the price is only that high because AMD doesn't have a mid range DX10 competitor...

when it hits 230...then it'll be a steal..
