Athlon 1700XP, Mobo, & HSF $169?

[U2ForNow]

This could be a typo. I ordered one though, at tcwo.com.

Kit includes a Biostar M7VIB DDR motherboard, AMD XP 1700+ SocketA OEM CPU, and a Coolermaster DP5 SocketA - Ball Bearing fan/heatsink.
$169 plus Shipping $6.95. Not a bad deal if it is real.

Wow

i checked out the board on the web. anyone here know much about it?

"Overclocking fans should keep their hands off this board, since it does not permit manual adjustment of the clock multiplier. "

A little review

 

[simonkao]

The cheapest price for the board on pricewat is $63, but it has a KT266 northbridge instead of KT266(A) lo

It will save you couple dollars if you buy this combo from tcwo.com

 

[uwannawhat]

The same pieces @ newegg come to $202 before shipping. Nice price.

 

[Lizardman]

the motherboard is not that great. No over clocking and the chipset is a kt266. The older version.

 

[kdegarmo]

Deal is Dead -- price is now listed as $202 on their website (they must have seen the earlier reply that the components are $202 on PriceWatch - lol)...

Those reveiws are not for this board.

This board is Biostar M7MIA
NOT
Biostar M7VIB which is the board that is reveiwed at Toms

 

[aircasper]

idgaf13, i'm confused. the link is clearly to the m7vib mobo. perhaps you're thinking of last night's $129 sale of the m7mia and xp1700 combo. now that was a hot deal. stupid me passed it up. stupid stupid stupid!

 

[idgaf13]

You are correct aircasper.
Ii was referring to the other deal.
I apologize for my blunder

I did get in on other deal
Strike while the iron is hot.
