[TimeKeeper]

Dont know if this is price error or what...
But Microcenter has the 3100+ for $59 , great for budget PC

Note: Here is the new way to get to it. (I don't want to be accused for phishing)

1. go to www.microcenter.com
2. at search box type in "AMD 3100"
3. buy your stuff.

That's odd, it worked like a charm for me. Keep trying.

by the way....isn't 64-bit sempron goes head to head if not better than Barton CPU?

Yeah, it tops it. The Sempron 64-bit cpus are a really good bang for your buck cpu and overclock beautifully.

My DFI LanParty NF3 250Gb is just sitting here waiting for nice little Sempron 64.

Different chip architecture. Anything Socket 754/939 will smoke Socket A.

Had the luck with my credit card. Tried over and over with no luck.
Won't deal with this company again

 

[mikeford]

Microcenter is a great company to do business with, one of the few places I would send a friend without 10 minutes of warnings.

 

[MustangSVT]

great .

ordered 2. and it accepted my cc info.

I chose to pick up @ chicago store. great find my bro will love the new cpu.

 

[leigh6]

This processor is easily the best bang for the buck around. Can overclock incredibly but even at stock, for $70.00, it is a bargain.

 

[ITPaladin]

sigh...I bet this would be a nice upgrade from my barton system if only I could get rid of my stuff for sale.

 

[Antoneo]

Hrm, it wouldn't let me use my credit card .

Are you sure you are on the Microcenter site and not victims of phishing?
Two different people having problems with their checkout is suspicious.

Three people now.

I followed the OP's link and followed through the checkout procedure but didn't work after submitting my CC information. One thing I noticed is that there was no option to select credit card type.

From all I could tell, it looked like microcenter's website... perhaps it's just a temporary problem?

 

[Univac]

Mine went through ok.

I went to their Home page and searched and found the same deal, so I don't think this is a phish.

Thanks OP!!

mmm....wonder if i can do in-store pick up?

Just go to your local store if they don't have it, they will back order it for you.

 

[Johnnie]

They open here at 11am.... I will call to make sure that price is correct.
If so, This is a steal!!

semi-related: if you have a Fry's B&M nearby, check the components section. I saw retail boxed Athlon 64 2800+ CPUs for $98. It's $99.90 online: http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4018732

That's $38-$39 extra for 512KB L2 vs 256KB L2 (both run at 1.8GHz), a heatsink and a 3 year warranty. I don't know if it's worth it for most people.

 

[kensplace]

In for one received email conformation and suppose to receive 11/13/05--Newegg lists 104 for this-good spot-great deal if it comes through-thanks--any deals on mobos

 

[Univac]

Got The Confirmation E-Mail...

"The estimated ship date of 11/13/05 assumes all items on your order are in stock "

Boo!!!!

At $104 Newegg has the retail version, with heatsink and 3 year warranty. This is still a smokin deal for a 64 bit oem chip (no fan/heatsink, shorter warranty).
