I wanted 4gb Ram (running xp64) and a faster processor. With DDR2 so cheap and almost no X2-939s, it is not worth sticking with 939.

... unless you don't want to spend money :roll: it'll be cheaper later

Hold off a little longer. Word on the street is that AMD will slash CPU prices by up to 40% next month in response to Intel's 40-60% cuts.

they need the money now tho 😉

Nice deal, makes me wish my Socket939 was an AM2🙁

Upgrade and sell off your old components to offset the cost! 😉

Meh, my X1950 Pro AGP 512mb and Athlon 64 4000+ with 2gb corsair XMS PC3200 ram can run all my games at max details with 16X AF, no point in upgrading for me really, this CPU would help with ripping, encoding, and compiling times, but the added expense is not justified to do a full "upgrade," plus, I have never sold online before so no one will want to buy from me.

I just started selling online too, what I did was I offered to ship first if the other person had good feedback.

Like ebay account feedback? I just dont feel comfortable shipping before I receive payment. Any legit businesses that can act as an intermediate, like they take the payment from the buyer, I ship it to said business, when they get it they ship it to the person who bought it and transfer the payment to me?

Start buying items first.

I think everyone goes through the pay first/ship first thing...only way I got myself to 50+ heat.

Just be super cautious, get phone number, address etc. Call the phone number first, verify heat by requesting an e-mail from the account linked to the heatware (although they added tags for other sites now so the people identify who they are on what board).

Just a few steps I STILL do, an honest buyer/seller will not mind in the least to send you an e-mail from the heatware address.

Just an idea. I wouldn't go by e-bay though.

Good luck.
