Frys has a ECS + Athlon 2600+ combo for 109.99 in this weekends ad for Northern/Southern CA.

It has been reported that folks have been getting the 2600+ Barton. If this is the case then I think it is pretty hot !!!

Anybody checked this out yet ?
 
At Renton Fry's, it is an Abit KD7A mobo plus an Athlon XP 2600+ for $109. Anybody buy this combo at Renton Fry's and what cpu did they get (barton or not)?
 
This combo originally was advertised on Friday in Nocal also as a $109.99 deal. Seems at the time people were receiving T-bred 2600+ cpus vs Bartons. Apparently Fry's adertised this combo again in todays paper (Sunday) and may have changed the cpu included to Bartons now instead of T-breds. Definitely a hot deal if it is Bartons today. Going to check it out, thx for the heads up.

Apologies....did not know of 2600+ bartons. From when they became available?...
 
I would say its a good deal but the $59.xx 1800+ (retail) and the same ECS board is a much better bang for the buck (especially when you are not going to use the ECS board).
 
definitely a barton. just look at the printout you take to the register. it says barton on there. tons of boards avail in fountain valley fry's when i was there about an hour ago. i counted like 20+ boards on the shelves. some of them were returns, but easy to find unopened box.

the board's pretty stable, 100000000000x better than that k7s5a crap

That board is not crap. Must be the operator. I purchased over 20 of them and never had a single problem.

No, it is crap. I've built systems for years now and the k7s5a is easily and by far the worst motherboard I've ever used.

 
I agree that these are great boards. I've built 5 of them for myself and friends and they are rock solid. Definitely user error. Some people should only buy from Dell or Gateway. Just plug it in and go.
