Very nice!

It's very tempting to pick up one of these and hope for the best (as far as overclocking goes), but I still can't decide if I want to do that or wait for the Revision E A64's in a month or two.

 

[lsman]

the problem with E0 is... its comin out, it will be 3800+.. and how long (or will it) filter down to the low end?
3800+ price range not what I will pay for..

 

[KameLeon]

So is this the price WITH the price cut? Or are you saying its going to be even lower?

This is the new price.

I'm pretty sure the 3200+ was at least $200 or near it before now.

Wow that chart is pretty wacked out...
I didn't know this proc has been around since 2001!

 

[jpeyton]

It has been $185-ish OEM, $200-ish retail.

Noooooooo!

Not again. The first time I went Athlon 64 they did a price drop about a week later. Guess what, I upgrade to socket 939 and they do it again. Oh well thems the breaks and this CPU is worth the money anyways, so no biggie.

As first I looked at it, I thought it was Oct 2001 too.......

ROFLMAO......


In Monarch,
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 512K 90nm (939) OEM is $170 while the Retail is $148....
F@#$%^&*

 

[jabronidan89]

AMD price drop will save me some money on the 3000+, I'll use it towards my x800 xl (maybe I'll overpay, not more then $350 though) or if the 3200+ drops enough, Maybe ill get that, $180 if???

 

[kindest]

i got my 3200+ oem 90nm for 170 back in december from monarch.
its running over 4000+/FX55 speeds now. :shocked:

 

[hans007]

monarch has the retail 3000 for $148 also. strangely the oem is $170 . retail 3200 is still $199 which sucks.


if monarch just had that msi rs480 igp board for sale for $109 or so like some other stores, i'd orderalready.

 

[Woody419]

I paid $216 for a retail 3200 at the end of Dec., but I also got HL2 and Far Cry for free with the chip & mobo package. The retail box includes the fan, which is pretty quiet. But if you are gonna overclock, you will want a better fan anyway. Good price for an OEM.

Do you have a source article that points out the coming price cuts?

 

[bobbyZ34]

Darn, I just paid $207 last week for my 3200+ 939 from zzf.

 

[Coquito]

Cheap crunchers... cheap dell servers or cheap 64 bit setups? Hmmm.

 

[stickybytes]

Zipzoomfly had the amd 3200+ 90nm for 206 shipped last time i checked on monday. right now, it stands at 195.90 which is about a 5% decrease.

 

[davidtran007]

i read on the inquirer that the price cut should be on monday the 14th

 

[Skelshy]

3800+ also dropping to $425-ish, $165 drop, very nice. I can feel an upgrade coming...

Son of a (*^*^$. I JUST bought a 3200 on FRIDAY. Why couldn't someone have posted this earlier??? (Sorry, I'm just kicking myself) And with NewEgg's restocking fee, it pretty much negates any savings I would have made. :::bangs head against wall:::

That sounds about right since my 3500+ has 2.64Ghz which is 4100+ speed.
