PC hardware sales and good deals (RETAIL or ONLINE sales NOT personal sales) ....

yeah, but its still OT. its not fair that when i bring it up its OT, but when its about your card its not.

thats the last i speak OT

 

But no one has offered a more expensive alternative like with the PSUs. There, we got into PSUs that cost 4 times as much that had nothing to do with the $29.99 deal that I posted! Here, we are discussing the cards I originally posted! I just don't really see that as OT!

Amen brother!!

I'm not sure it's that far OT but it's beating that heck out of that dead horse!! lol.

Russ just buy one already and be done with it!! Let us know how it works out for you.

I've managed to track down a Q9550 E0 stepping chip for £250 delivered (sent internationally). That works out only £10 more than the C1 stepping from a real store in the UK. Should I go for it?

edit: Well, I went for it. From anywhere other than ebuyer it's the same price to have a C1 stepping chip, and ebuyer is only £14 less. I've seen some great things from these chips in other boards. I'm well aware I need to get some decent RAM for it, and that will be arranged shortly (2x2GB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500C5). I'm unsure about heat from these chips, but I figure if a 95W Q6600 overvolted by 200mV doesn't overheat, then a Q9550, also 95W, should do fine for at least 100mV over spec - and I've seen some remarkably high overclocks in the 1.3 zone. My one concern though, is that I use an X38 chipset, not P45 or X48. Would that cut the mustard for overclocking a 45nm Quad core chip?

 

* $119 Q6600 (65nm, 8MB L2, 2.4Ghz)
* $129 Q8200 (45nm, 4MB L2, 2.33Ghz)
* $159 Q9300 (45nm, 6MB L2, 2.5Ghz)
* $199 Q9450 (45nm, 12MB L2, 2.66Ghz)


All processors come with a ECS G33T-M2 mATX Motherboard. Processors are said to be OEM.

eew, ECS. lol

 

The CPU on it's own is cheap enough.

 

Very true, and there's always ebay for the motherboard. Some dummy will be gullible enough to buy it!

 

lol
Yeah. I wish I had a frys around here. I would save an extra 70 bucks on that computer I'm building.

 

Try www.outpost.com and see if they have it there. This is Fry's online store. The Fry's here in So Cal are sort of like Circuit city, but with more stock. Sometimes they are right up there with cutting edge stuff, but most times they sell some pretty crappy stuff. Not quite as far behind the times as Circuit City, but still usually pretty far from cutting edge components. You can get some good buys there, but you have to know what you want, otherwise you can wind up with some real garbage. Like Circuit City, they have very few people that know very much about the products they sell.

Nah, they don't have it on outpost.com. It's like 205 over there

Here's some deals on ODD's if interested.. I've been blamed for many a purchases on ODD's so use this as another 'crutch'. lol.

link to ODD's at the EGG

I don't have the new AD-7220 but it's supposed to be a iHAP322 which I'm sure is a decent drive. If it is a Lite-On you can bet that C0deKing and his bunch of "patchers" will make some sort of goody for it.
