DEAD BA Fry's (maybe others) Athlon XP 2400+ OEM & ECS K7S5A PRO - $119

[Naruto]

Saw this in the sj mercury, i was planning on getting a 2100+ and a nforce mobo, but this is a greater value.

 

[AJPatel]

I think I would go broke if I lived in the bay area.

Tell Fry's to come to this coast

 

[dew042]

yeah - frys should come and take on best buy in its home turf here - minnesota. then we'll see some fireworks...

dew.

 

[kehi]

I wish frys would could to NC. Please, Please, Please . If anyone can get me one i will gladly compensate for the gas, shipping, and time.

 

[Naruto]

hmmm... surprised that it isn't getting much feedback.

 

[ahsia]

Anybody know how well the 2400+ overclocks? Been in a market for either the 2100+ or 1700+ T-Bred.....

 

[DaCurryman]

I would gladly pay Cost + Shipping if someone were to be so kind as to buy and send me one of these. Please PM or e-mail me here.

 

[Wyck]

The 2400+ is basically a prime quality 2100+ tbred b.

 

[bender151]

For those of you asking if anyone would be willing to ship these to them:
Cost - $120
tax - 10
shipping - 10

That's $140 right there, then add $5-10 for that person's time and your total is now ~$150.
Is that still a hot deal for you guys? Not to mention what you're gonna do if the board or cpu is faulty.

If you're really desperate, PM me and maybe we can work something out.

I have a raincheck to get the xp 2000+ & ECS K7S5A Pro bundle for $89.99. I bought a 2200+ bundle for $119 last week, that I'm returning. I'm not planning to do to many mods, so is the 2000+ bundle a good enough deal?

 

[ams30gts]

same price in LA Area. saw it in the paper today

The 2400+ is significantly faster than the 2000+, by three something hundred mhz. 2400+ also overclock good, with the help of the cheepoman bios for the ecs board.

I take it this is NOT a tbred?

correct, the 2000+ runs at 1.67Ghz, the 2400+ runs at 2.0 Ghz, thats 330Mhz

 

[MrCodeDude]

Yeah, tax and gas is high in the Bay Area. For the price + shipping, you could easily go get an equally decent combo somewhere near home.

[Atomics]

Same deal is $129.99 in Sacramento

 

[fengpc]

linky

 

[HappyNic]

just pick up the combo today,,

Here's the spec from the green cpu
AXDA2400DKV3C 9569086280161 AIUHB 0305UPEW

looks like a downclocked 2800+ if you just look at the numbers,,

also the color of the core has this blueish silver which is suppose to mean this is a super overclockable CPU..

Anyways, I couldn't do anything with it until my case and power supply comes so I can't do any testing on the overclockablity of the cpu.. For $119 it's a pretty good deal, yes a K7s5a pro mobo is included in the price.

I read a while ago that anyone can call up Fry's and have them ship stuff out via UPS. This was the case a couple years ago with various digicam deals that came out. Has this changed since Fry's brought Outpost.com?

 

[ahsia]

I am going to Fry's tomorrow to pick up one for myself.... I'll gladly help a few people out.... first two people to PM me by 10am PST, I will pick it up for you, $145 for mobo/cpu/shipping.....

I was at the fremont frys today, they had a cart of new ecs k7s5a pro boards. But i decided not to get one, cause in the short run i would need a new motherboard for more memory bandwith and higher fsb overclocking. It would be much faster to have it overclocked to at least a 333mhz fsb with two sticks of my pc2700, but the 2400+ multiplier is too high for the ecs board to achieve a 333mhz fsb.

I'm interested in having "ashia" pick one up for me, but can someone explain this to me like I'm a child, 'cause I didnt fully understand it. I'm looking to get the combo to upgrade my parents P3-450. I would give the 2400+ to my brother and his current 1600+ to my parents. How big of a deal is it that it doesnt run a 333mhz FSB? I know my Dell 4550 can, but I have PC2100 in it right now, so I dunno the difference. Is it better to hold out for a MB that runs 333? It just seems like the price is too good to pass up.

Also a second question I have:
the P3-450 is in a mid-tower ATX case right now. Could I just put the 1600+ in there, or will I need to buy a new case & power supply? I ask because it may make the upgrade more costly than waiting for a nice Dell deal (like I got for my 4550 last October). Thanx in advance.
