Did Everybody Get What They Wanted?

[Pederv]

I did.

Picked up a 4800 X2 for less than $300, Now my system is pretty much maxed out.

 

[broly8877]

Ordered a E6300... yeah.

 

[EndGame]

Pretty much......the last of the hardware for my Conroe system is on it's way.............now just have to decide which X2 system I'll sell because a sixth system is not needed...........

 

[Refractoryman]

Who did you purchase the 4800 X2 from for under $300.00? I've been searching and the lowest I see is $320.00.

 

[Pederv]

Atacom.com
It's at 299 now (was 295) and out of stock till monday

 

[johnnynodough]

I said fudge it, The appeal of a 154 dollar 3800+ X2 upgrade from a plain ol newcastle 3500+ was to great.


So that will let me see how this all pans out. Save up my money, build this X2 into a pVR when the Conroe dust settles


I was looking at $800 min to upgrade to the e6600, maybe next year.

Im content.

 

[n7]

Not yet.

No C2Ds in Canada for a while still, & i don't have time to rebuild a system now anyway. Not to mention i detest the selection & pricing for C2D mobos.

I'll be upgrading in early fall likely.

 

[yacoub]

yup, i ordered my GPU. that'll tide me over 'til C2D prices become reasonable.

My computers do not make me money based off a "time is money" performance factor, and I'm a casual gamer. I'm also tired of wasting money on quickly depreciating hardware, when I can make that same couple grand here and there, appreciate. Consequently, I have deemed what I want as subordinate to what I need.

So my answer is, No, I did not get what I want

Well said. I just ranted in video about getting burned from a ATI mail in rebate offer and I'm in the same frame of mind. Maybe I'll upgrade in 2008 or so...

 

[Boyo]

I did not get what I want. Waiting til the FX falls, which will be who know's when. I'm staying 939 for a while.....

 

[RallyMaster]

I'm not satisfied with mine yet....I still need to order a X2 sometime this year.

 

[Cynicist]

I'm very happy, got an E6300 for $200 (the zzf deal)

That blows. I'll go check out your rant, to see how they F'd you.

I've been lucky with rebates, never failed to get one.

EDIT:Yeah, that blows they are so strict. It is a good thing to copy everything involved. Trust no one

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm extremely happy, got my X2 3800+ for $189 Cdn.

 

[Avalon]

No, I haven't gotten what I wanted yet. I'm still waiting for an X2 3600+ or an E4200/4300.

 

[videopho]

Very much so for now anyway. Got x2 3800+ from ZZF for $156 (hasn't shipped as of this writing). Finally I'm going for dual core to future-proof Vista down the pipe.
