    Dell SB - 2405FPW 24" LCD monitor - $640 AC

    Dell blew out some refurbs at $500. I'm sure those flooded Ebay for a bit.

    X800XL AGP on newegg for $180 + shipping

    I'm not a fanboy, I'm just adding some perspective. The 1800 deal is quite a bit better card and only $20 more. That's all. Peace.

    X800XL AGP on newegg for $180 + shipping

    No, there is no AGP part, but that's why I'm asking WHY anyone would want to lock themselves into another AGP purchase. There's a PCIe mobo to fit any budget and that opens up a wealth of better/cheaper card options. How can it not make sense to move on?

    X800XL AGP on newegg for $180 + shipping

    I'm still running a x800xl quite happily but when the x1800xl is only $20 more that this (after a rebate) isn't it a bit crazy to spend this much on a yestertech vid card?

    Good price on Onkyo S580 and S780 models (Refurb)

    I bought this from Fry's when it was on sale for $399 but it was hard to find a silver one. It seems to go on sale about every 2 months so it's due to run again soon. Sound wise this system is every bit as good as any $1000+ system I've heard. The speaker cabinets are kind of cheap particle...

    Sapphire X800GTO2 alone

    You should give a $ amount to work with. Do you have a case, drives and all the rest of the parts? It really doesn't pay to buy parts that you can't use yet. In 2 months that vid card dropped over $50. Any opty 144 and higher with a 939 board from DFI, Asus, MSI all will get you going.

    That thing practically needs it's own power supply! 2.5 amps!

    ATI X800XL PCI-E Refurb $136 Shipped

    Umm, I got one of these running next to me and the temps run straight up to 90C as soon as it starts to do any work. Not OC either. Cheap price though. I thought I stole it for $200 a year ago.

    Choosing between X2-Opteron and X2-Athlon with ASUS A8N32-SLI DELUXE ?

    I re-read your post a few times and I think you're saying the P4 2.4 is roughly the same as the 175. The clock speeds aren't comparable. A stock 175 is roughly equal to a P4 4.4ghz.

    **HOT **Dual Core Opteron 165 1mb cache x2 = $ 270.00

    No, the dual proc boards are all 940 pin. You would have to use one of the 2xx series opterons.

    Anybody want to see if it stacks with Amex wish certs? I have a set of Logitech 5500's in my cart and the price has not changed. It's still $219. Waiting for the Nanos to come back as an Amazon product before I can close it out.

    I had trouble with the extra $5 also. My DPA codes had a lower case 'r' at the end that was not supposed to be there. I called to put the order thru by phone but got nothing but 'the best I can give you is $20 off because your code is invalid.'(offshore call center voice optional) I had to...

    Name that socket!

    2.8 is a Pentium 4 for sure. What does he do on his PC? If he just uses the web and office apps he probably wouldn't notice much of a speed bump from a processor alone. More memory would probably have more of an impact.

    Oldest CPU you have?

    It is/was called 'Slot 1'. The oldest I have is my Atari 800 that I bought back in high school for $500 instead of buying a car. Still works too. I just threw out a whole fleet of 286, 386, 486 machines that had been building up in my garage. 2meg 30 pin SIMMs anyone?

    Opteron 165 start.

    Does AMD use the same retail fan/heatsink for A64 and Opterons? I have a 3200 winchester already and I'm thinking about ordering the OEM version of the 165.

    What does this mean? Few restarts before computer boots & posts AFTER changing bios settings........

    What kind of setup do you have? My MSI Neo4 likes to hang up once in a while also. The BIOS starts but never makes it to the memory test. This happens maybe once in 5 reboots. A reset cures it and it has never done it twice in a row so I don't worry about it.

    Only a very lucky few got anything free. Everyone paid for their bundle and AMD even made a very nice profit. If AMD intended to connect with the "real" system builders they could have saved themselves a lot of money and taken all 25 of them on a trip to the Bahamas. Their dog and pony show...

    x800 XL for $250

    Averox- your system will run with a 20 pin power plug but the missing pins are to supply power to the video card only. Under full demand conditions the voltage to your card could be low. Cards with a power plug on board are not affected but your x800 gets its power from the slot. I would get...
