Zipzoomfly has 'em for $165 but they're out of stock... they also list one @ $139 but it's out of stock, too
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80699-5 -- $139
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80699-2 -- $165

I can't tell a difference between the two.

Monarch even has the 3200+ for $167.65.

So how is $190 for a 3000+ Venice core a good deal?

lol... I really hope he didn't take your advise

AMD is not making any more 3000+'s, hence the supply decreasing and the price rising.

Yaa, its been that price on newegg for about 2-3 weeks now.

Yeah, got a couple back in Sept. for $146 each..... should have snagged more!

What is so special about this 1.8ghz chip? Is this the 939 pin?

 

[cryogenic666]

I dunno... I'd rather just get the 3200+. More multipliers available and there are more chips available too. Regardless, the 3000+ is the lowest clocked venice core CPU

yeah it is, they are good overclockers, well the early batches were. now they get decent oc's 2.4-2.5ghz range guranteed using stock voltage. my local fry's has these chips, the retail versions for $130, my friend wanted to get one but they were sold out.

 

[rancherlee]

still 129$, you just need to "upgrade" to socket 754 now

The 3000+ was the first s939 chip released, and is now being discontinued with the latest revision of the venice core, E4. The <2Ghz department will be handled by the 939 sempron when it is released.
