Nobody replied?

Wow, really good find, and the place seems to have good prices too (even if the chips are overclocked). I need to get a new board because my POS Slot-A MSI-6167 has an AGP bus limited to 1x for some reason. AGP 1x is suck! Especially when I was infatuated with Arena.

Something about this place seems fishy. I would do some research on this company first before purchasing anything.

From the product description:

Guaranteed 900 core athlon 225.00 for a limited time only.

Now, this could be 15min before windows start crashing, or a month...that looks kinda suspicious...

 

[tgillitzr]

all it says is guaranteed 900 core
it's not overclocked, its just guaranteed that the core is 900mhz

 

[ryanpgroovy]

These being 900 core means they are like 750 or 800's guaranteed to have a 900 core, duh. The limited time only means that they are only availble for a limited time.

It appears to be a new company , they seemed to have opened at the begining of this month. They also have an open invitation for sugestions on the front page. LOL

Open suggestions, eh? How about DONT CALL YOURSELVES OVERCLOCKERZ. Z does NOT add additude, it does not add respect. All it does is make them sound like a pair of 12 year olds trying to run a computer store from their basement.

Lupine2- am I missing something? Who calls themselves overclockerz?

 

[htyei]

I've got one of those Athlon 700's with the 900 core. It's a great buy if you wanna hit that 1GHz mark. I sent in the CPU and had it modded by Trinity Micro (http://trinitymicro.hypermart.net/) and I've got it running at 1GHz at 1.85V. The CPU plus the mod was aproximately $315 and compare that to a real 1GHz at $800 that's a steal.

 

[TimeThrash]

Damn I hope this deal sticks until I have a WHOLE lot more money.

 

[WyteRyce]

isn't the Thunderbird 900m socket A for $ 219.99 a better deal?

 

[ryanpgroovy]

The actual company name is The Computer Zone.
The Overclockers domain was taken, So they grabed overclockerz
I assume

They have excellent support at that store. I've been receiving courtious replies within 15 minutes late at night (11pm - 1pm).

From what I've heard cpu's are tested before shipping. If you want your mobo and cpu tested they will also do that.

 

[TimeThrash]

I want to upgrade my MOBO. Need that new Abit K7V....4 USB ports...sweeetttt.....Then my 550 will fly.

 

[jlhavens]

This sounds like a pretty good deal, but I sure wouldn't buy a 700 from them thinking that I could overclock it.
