amd price drop tomorrow :-)

Hope that its gonna happen, then I can get rid of this 4800 x2 and get me a 5000 BE, put that baby at 3.1, and be that much faster (err, my computer will be, hehe)

 

[compy386]

Going from a 4800 x2 to a 5000 BE seems like an unnecessarily small upgrade. I may pick up a 5000 BE myself to replace my 3800. Spec'ed out a computer for $260 after shipping and rebates with no OS or hard drive. Going to pick up Vista Ultimate at school for $19 .

Well, the 5000 BE will OC better. I think that's what he's going for. The price cuts on the Phenoms have already sort of started at Newegg. I hope to see some new chips and lower prices soon as well.

2.4 ghz to 3.1 ghz... small upgrade

Maybe a a 4800x2 to a phenom 2.2ghz would be a small upgrade.. but this isnt really

 

[EXT64]

Ja, not to mention OCing with an unlocked Multi is pure fun. I hope everything goes well and you chip OC's like mad.

Why don't you just overclock the X2 4800+?

 

[gigman]

its not a BE. Thats the only realy version. how much are the price drops supposed to be?

 

[stabgotham]

I doubt it will, but that would be sweet if the just released 9850BE would drop as well.

 

[EXT64]

The 9850 is priced a little high, so it is possible; however, AMD may give it a little more time. I guess we'll know soon.

Better off getting a 6400+ Be !

Nice rig.

 

[endyen]

AMD lists the 9850 @ $235, while they still have the 9600s @ $251.
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors...0_118_609,00.html?redir=CPT301?redir=SPDR0010 Which one do you think will change?
At newegg, the 9850 is $243. That's about $16 cheeper than when it first came out.

 

[ben10218]

hmmm, I fail to see any price changes on newegg...

 

[nightsc]

It's 7th and price still didn't drop yet T_T

damn, I just heard that 4200+ is not gonna drop = =

 

[pogsnet]

@soldier nice rig but what are those hoses for?

 

[ben10218]

so the price drops = 5000 x2 BE going up in price...

damn you AMD, damn you!

 

[nightsc]

omg, no price drop yet, a RUMOR?
= =

 

[EXT64]

For some processors the opposite happened. Now the Phenoms are all screwed up because AMD wants the 9500 and the 9550 to BOTH cost $195. That caused Newegg to raise the price of the 9500 nearly $30! Who in their right mind would buy a 9500 over a 9550 if they cost the same? Oh well, hopefully it will get sorted out soon.

 

[stabgotham]

Well the 9850BE dropped by $8.00 on Newegg. It was originally $243.00, but now it's $235.00 plus free shipping which it originally did not have either.

 

[nightsc]

sigh, never would believe that AMD isn't gonna drop 4200+ price T_T
