LIke title says....Are they a good retailer????

 

[dave127]

ummm....shouldnt this be in the hot deals forum??? im guessing that this is a good price...i really havent been looking at the prices for palominos

check out resellerratings.com

Possibly but I don't like those guys (joke)...I was asking a question on the retailer done many times in this forum...

Its more of a suspicious shock...to good to be true considering next retailer is like 30 bucks different...

I just got a 1.3ghz/266 retail and a Epox 8kta3 board for $229 @ Frys so this looks like ripoff

If you go to the actual site you'll see that the site is actually called altima solutions, the chip is really $224, and out of stock. Maybe they meant to post that price for the 1GHz MP?

EDIT: Yep, looking at their site, the AthlonMP 1GHz is 194.99- it was an error on pricewatch.

altima has been talked about quite a bit on hot deals. they beat everyone else by 20-30 on the ibm hdd's. some of the stories on resellr are hideous. theyre obviously a no inventory boiler room and are part of the pricewatch crowd that pay them to advert their stuff.
people theorize the ibm's are "pulls" from upgraded big names. Personally i only have so much tolerance left for aggravation, and simply wont test these dogs.

Duvie:

I would highly suggest you check out Monarch Computers. They are not the cheapest on the MP's, but they are the only dealer that offers a 3 year warranty on the MP OEM chips.


"I just got a 1.3ghz/266 retail and a Epox 8kta3 board for $229 @ Frys so this looks like a ripoff."

I think you are confusing the Palomino/MP CPU with a regular Thunderbird. $194 is a good price for the Athlon MP...
