Cel-T 1.2 Best Buy Clearance $29.99

[cfb44]

Found 3 of these on clearance at the Duncanville(Dallas?) store. One was an open box special for $24.99 (never used). Not sure about any other locations, and the item is not available online. As usual , YMMV.......

Nice deal, just got a 1.1A in a trade. 🙂

I'm debating which to use - my 1.1a which does 133+ fsb, or this 1.2 which is only doing 120+ fsb (so far - only had it for an hour!)

[PremiumG]

[unclebud]

OK we need some confirmation on this deal. If it's nationwide then this is one of the hottest deals ever!

yes, with the right adapter...

 

[LordSnailz]

thanks for the quick reply ... this adapter right? http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=S370TUA

hmm $40.00 for an upgrade or should I just hold out a few more weeks and upgrade the whole computer, cpu/mobo/case/ram ...

 

[cfb44]

is your board socket 370 or slot 1?

 

[LordSnailz]

slot 1

 

[cfb44]

try this slot 1 adapter. check the compatability list to see if your board (or chipset) is listed...

 

[LordSnailz]

cool, thanks! if you have an extra one that you don't need, I'm willing to take if off you hands =)

WTF? Do any Best Buys answer the phones? I've called 3 and chosen both the operator as well and the computer department and nobody is answering the phone.

This is worse than Fry's!
