I'm sure it does. Most new boards do

Isn't the memory slowdown with 3 dimms caused by the memory controller on the old C0 revision cores and not the motherboard? Since this is a CG core newcastle shouldn't it not have that problem?

1)I only opend up two accounts:Both in legal names to a company.Now:

2)Not only did I get three ordered from (1) account,I even passed this login info to a member her @ AT to use as well and he was able to get in on an order through.

3)The other account I never used and so I passed the login to a member on the after noon of the 8th of july when I ordered my first order and Discovered something about the PROMO and the CART which led me to let go of that account.He was Successful in getting in on the deal but as soon as he ordered the link was locked out from being able to be used again!

4)These members I picked because 1)they had a profile activated and 2) they were of Dimond status with at least a year date of 2000 or older.I have been around AT from the begining befor the forums ever existed.I just chose not to register untill 2002.
So I say to all the members and lurkers,If you PMed me or thought about asking me or someone else for help,Know this; if you have 10 posts to your name or 2004 your not going to get anything and secondly if you don't have a profile activated then you have never delt in the F/S forum or you just choose not to show it.Or like some I saw in my chooseing to deal with member CU comes to mind he had a nice back ground year 2000 I think but he had no profile activated......so sorry to you.

5)I'm not going to go in to detail about HOW I was able to do what I did,but I will say I waited in 1 day Intervals to be fair to others in allowing there orders to be placed in the order chain.

6)My two accounts are now link deactive so this deal is over for me.

7)I will shed this much light if you used the AMD PROMO's in a sequence there was a cookie that seemed to block the lock out from happening and you could go through to the cart time and time again.

8)All in all there were 5 orders through 2 accounts of mine which benifited two others as well :Q :p :cool:

9)I only really need 1 of these so there may be room for a member that meets the discription I described and was not able to get in on the deal!

10)As far as being GREEDY some could not even get registerd let alone to the cart,I could get this off and I'm sure it will benifit someone who couldn't.I say why WASTE a GOOD THING*!* ;)

CU :I went back and I see now it was you don't allow for PM's..you do have a profile activated

Excuse me for being a newer member and not meeting your requirements. I guess I am not perfect like some people!

Ah, yes.. That is precisely what I saying to my roomie last night! A friend of mine wasn't able to get in on this due to the slowness of the server and, thanks to the crazy level of response this deal got (which is unsurprising, frankly), he wasn't able to snag the deal. I'm busily trying to filter through the posts here, on FW and SD, in an attempt to figure out what CherryBomb (and a few others) managed to grasp..

Whether I figure it out or not, I'm glad that I managed to get in for myself since the PC that my roomie used blew up.. so he's going to get the motherboard, processor &amp; RAM from my PC and I'll be putting in the bundle that I will hopefully be receiving sometime on Thursday or Friday!

Along with this bump,I will ask for a pole:When you log it to this link (A)Do you get a copy of your order or (B)Do you get your shoping cart is currently empty

****If your answer is (B) then you can still order!****

My order was placed on 7/7. Order # is E9300xxx. Order is still showing to Drop Shipper.

Side questions:

1) Can I use my existing PC2700 DDR with this cpu?
2) Will my Antec 300watt PSU be enough?

i just ordered it today! no confirmation yet, but payment went through. deal is not dead!

edit: the registration is not up! sorry to get some of your hopes up. I registered earlier with the big wolf pack, but was never able to get the order through. luckily today, I got through. so if you were in the same boat as me, don't believe the others, you can still order!

You will have a long time to wait, Kavikgold...
My order number is 93020xx and it still is in drop shipped status.
Your number is 933xxxx, which means there are almost 3000 orders to fill, before yours. It's highly unlikely AMD will fill that many orders.

you have to remember...that's NOT AMD's order numbers, that all tigerdirect's numbers. sooo....not all of those are the AMD bundle deal. but they still have to process all the orders, which could take up to about 2-3 days for 3000 orders.

should have gone thru newegg :D

I was able to get in on this on 7/8 approx 3pm est. I was not sure whether I would qualify, since I'm not part of a Gold or Platinum status partner. There was a delay in processing the order since I was shipping to a different address than my billing, but TD called to verify and the order passed credit card authorization on Friday.
Order # E9307XXX, Status To Drop Shipper. I called TD this morning and asked about the order and they said it SHOULD ship today from Illinois!

I'm not counting my chickens until I get that tracking number, but this will be a great addition to my systems. I was considering upgrading my Intel 2.4B to a 3.0C or 3.2C, but for less money, I'm getting a much better system, plus the t-shirt and game.

To the people that placed their order yesterday how did you do it? I register a few days ago but the test link was gone. Had you guys already taken the test before placing the order yesterday?
