MWave - $189

Good Thread !! My local CUsa was OOS, went across the street to BestBuy & they pricematched without any questions. Perfect for my mothers system.

$259.63 shipped overnight (Overnight was only $3 more than ground). Guess that's an advantage of living on the East Coast where there aren't any Fry's (No Fry's = No Tax !!!). They tried delivery 8:30 this morning but nobody was home to sign. DHL is down the street from here (where I work)...

Same thing. Shipped, delivery estimated today. Good deal.

I can wait. My order status changed from 'In Process' to 'Back Ordered'. I'm slowly getting the pieces to move from my 939 X2 to go back to the dark side & try one of the Core 2 Duo's (maybe even the Quad's depending on prices in a month or 2). Until I get around to picking up the MB...

Well, they charged my credit card this morning. On-Line status still shows 'In Process'. Maybe they're shipping, if not they're probably breaking the law by charging my card without shipping product :) ...

EPP = Enhanced Performance Profile. Tighter timings. Per Corsairs data sheet: "The Twin2X1024-6400C4 comes with Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP), the open standard for performance module SPD?s jointly developed by Corsair and NVIDIA. EPP SPD?s on Corsair modules allow users to...

This is a deal if you can get them to ship. Pricewatch comes up 309 to 350 or so. Also, these are the C4's with EPP programmed into the SPD. I ordered. We'll see if they ship soon or string me along till I cancel :).

You know us idle rich ... just lazin' around all day eatin bon-bons & looking for stuff to waste our money on :) ...

Good deal Aaron. From what I've seen you win the prize for lowest cost XTX so far :). Let me know what your idle & loaded temps run after you play with it for a while. Mine are pretty hot (approaching 90 C loaded, but no artifacts or instabilities.

Whad'ya know :) ... FedEx delivered today & page actually sent an XTX. Brand new, BBA & sealed. With all the negative ratings on Page I expected either them to cancel the order because of a pricing mistake or ship an XT. Anyone else take advantage of the $542 price & pick one of these up...

I picked one up from Page Computers for $542 the other day (XTX). FedEx delivered it today & they actually shipped what I ordered :). For that price I expected to either get a cancelled order or that they would ship an XT. I wouldn't have paid $650 for the XTX but for the $542 price it...

$100 premuim is a lot for just some hand picked parts then.

ATI seems to have done a pretty good job this time around. Speed, price (well, compared to the 7800GTX-512's) & availability. The Techreport article indicates ATI will fix it & they claim with no performance hit. I'd even expect a boost in performance with driver updates so I'll give ATI the...

Might report itself as an XTX but would still have the 1.2 ns ram instead of the faster 1.1.
