Some people asked me for this, here's a screen shot of the price, if you fax it in to them they'll price adjust after you place an order.

the screen shot can be found Here

Enjoy!

my friend tried it, but they said they didn't price match old prices.

Has this worked for anyone?

it's a weird coincidence that this topic is posted here today. i had thought about buying that combo, but (like so many), i ended up watititng for the nForce boards to come out instead. Now just today I picked up a Radeon LE for $39 (see my earlier thread -- though deal is dead now), so the integrated graphics doesn't look so appealing anyway, I went back to outpost looking for deals on kt266a mohterboards, I selected one & then when I went to my cart to check out, guess what I saw? the k7s5a/1700 combo was still in my cart, and still priced at $199! I wonder if they would honor it if I went through checkout with it. not that I'm sure I would anyway -- a big attraction of the k7s5a was suing the sdram for awhile longer, but now that I have 2x256mb for < $50, courtesy of best buy ... I'm still contemplating, it's quite a good price.

anyway, it really was a weird coincidence to see this thread pop up just hours later <cue twilight zone theme>

It's a great price even just to get the retail CPU. Egay the mobo, can easily get $50 +10 to ship it on there. That leaves you paying $140 for a retail Xp1700 which is pretty good.

It worked fine for me. I told them that I went to buy it on Saturday, after putting it in my cart on Friday. The price in the cart showed up as $199, but when I went to check out, it showed up as $229. I called a CSR, they told me take a screen shot of the cart, place an order at $229, and fax in the printed cart. I called yesterday to confirm, and they had made the price adjustment. Unfortunately they're out of stock, so I don't get it for a while. Enjoy the deal.

gee, thanks, how helpful. some of us don't live near a Fry's B&M and so maybe don't see the attraction of driving across numerous state lines (not to mention go back in time) in order to save $30. Less, actually, when you figure in tax, netflip rebate, that kind of thing.

Yep, me too. Hopefully there will be a new XP + mobo deal after Christmas.
