Well, for anyone that's been waiting up upgrade your A64 socket 939 rig your time has arrived. Monarch has slashed prices on most of AMD's offerings, in some cases to the bone. Monarch now has the X2 3800+ for $162 plus $2.79 fedex saver shipping. Unfortunately they haven't slashed prices on the DC Opterons though. The AM2 processors have had their prices slashed too.

Link to dual core offerings.

Link to single core offerings.

It will be interesting to see what the other online e-tailers do with price cuts in the next few days too.:headbange

    Looks like Mwave.com has cut prices too. They don't have much in the way of stock for dual core processors though. Here's some links for them:

    Link for single core socket 939 procs.

    Link to single core socket AM2 procs.

    It also looks like eWiz.com has cut prices too. Not a great selection, but they do have good prices on what they do have in stock.

    Link to socket 939 processors.

    Why wait on Newegg when you can get one from Monarch for almost 1/2 price now! I would actually recomend the X2 4200 for just a little bit more as the higher multilier will help in OC'ing.

    BTW
    The X2 4800 is now only slightly more that the X2 3800 was last week! :D

    Oh I see!

    You are waiting for either AMD's Pluto CPU's or Intel's Klingon line. ;D

    There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth...not to mention money burning holes in pockets. (I include myself in this group.)

    The price drops have just started. It's just an introduction. Just wait for the main event!

    I hate Star Trek but everyone knows that the Klingons are the humanoid warriors in opposition of the United Federation of Planets...

    I just have to note this! a 4000+ for $128.00 Holy crap!!! that is a very fast single core CPU.... It is about 15% fater than the 3800 X2... I am thinking of buying a few of these as pocket CPU's

    I have an idea...a devious one:rarr:

    I am going to buy my brother a computer, I am going to *build* it, and order myself a new case to move my current stuff into, im gonna pull a little switch a roo and put the new stuff in my computer and give him my S754 A64 2800..and since I am paying for it, I see no harm in giving myself the new stuff, caues it will feel like a new computer to him by the time that I reformat and do a clean install for him. especially since he will have 6800GT. And if all goes well, I will get some *reimbusement* from my parents, and then from him.:wink:



    MUST RESIST UPGRADES...AHHH...MUST RE..SIST...OH GOD...ARHH!!

    Yeah, that was only a matter of time. AMD has dropped prices before Intel has, and Intel is the company with the huge, surplus inventory. Hmm. Intel's shooting itself in the foot again? Maybe AMD figures that every computer with a new AMD CPU will be one computer that need not to be upgraded with an Intel unit when Conroe is available at retail?

    And why aren't the Intel CPUs discounted yet? It doesn't seem to make any sense. What's their plan?

    Hey guys. I know nothing of AMD and am wondering what the difference between these two are;
    ADA3500CGBOX
    ADA3500BPBOX
    They are both AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 2000MHz HT Socket 939 and that model # is the only difference I can see, apart from a $7 price difference.
    I just bought myself a Gigabyte K8 Triton and am looking for a processor for it.

    Cheers.

    looks to me to be a different production run, im not sure though, and im really tired right now, I just got up for work, someone else might know, the only difference id the cg to bp.
  • GHoosdumGHoosdum Icrontian
    edited July 2006
    It's a different revision of the core. The CG, I believe, is the better overclocker. It's the more expensive one, I presume?

    Yes, that right. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=50001028+2010340343+1051707439&Submit=ENE&Subcategory=343
    I'm liking the look of this though; http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA21522 (already been posted by Sledgehammer70)

    That's it...resist...RESIST!!! (Meanwhile, I am pulling further away from you in the folding competition) RESIST I TELL YOU! :bigggrin:

    And to catch everyone up... Airborn threw down the gauntlet! Painted a BIG target on my back and is going to give me a folding thrashing.

    Does he not know that Irken technology is superior? Silly Human...
