Duron 650 with 1 year warranty 47.25 SHIPPED! pretty ok deal 10 in profile for posting

[TuOni]

saw this deal at axion tech ordered two

 

[Lanyap]

Nice price. They say it's an "OEM, NEW PULL". Does this mean they pulled a new processor out of a new PC or newly pulled an old processor out of an old machine? Anyway, with a 1 year warranty it shouldn't be a problem with a pulled CPU. AxionTech and Directron are two of the few sites that have a 1 year warranty on OEM CPUs. I've done business with both.

 

[JACKHAMMER]

hmmmm...... shouldn't pull mean used?

 

[RoadRuner]

prolly pulled the procs from machine before it was ever sold. That would be technically new and pull.

 

[TimidOCer]

bump good deal but i prefer my 600 that i bought for 600 that is a better overclocker and has a 3 year warranty for 57$

 

[elSmoko]

TimidOCer
600 bucks for a duron is kinda steap

 

[TOOCOOL]

TimidOCer
$600 for a duron WOW what a deal lucky you got the $57
warranty lol

 

[TimidOCer]

hhehe yah im an idioty when not thinkin haha

 

[lilstevo]

timid i missed out on that deal. they told me they wouldn't sell it to me for 600 and a 3 yr waranty for 57. i asked why and they hung up on me.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Good deal... would be nice for a little pet machine except I already have a celery 466, mobo, cdrom drive, flopy drive, tape drive, keyboard, mouse with wheel, speakers, hard drive, sound card, and ethernet card/56k modem lying around... soon I'll make a small machine to use to browse sites while playing games .

hey whoever orders this cpu, can you reply to this thread with the cpu marking? It'll say something like AKBA0026DPCW (the 26 means that it was built on week 26). Here's a link to the explanation of this http://www.xbitlabs.com/cpu/duron-600.html (look at the chart on the bottom of the page).

The reason i ask is because later week durons have a better chance to overclock. Also, if you overclock this chip, please post your result... thanks!

 

[Jdog]

My bet is that all that is in the channel now are later week Durons.

 

[lilstevo]

are week 26s really tbird 1.2gig in disguise?

 

[Phokus]

I'm worried because they could be selling these as durong 650's that didn't overclock very well.

 

[lilstevo]

phokus I see but the thing with of overclocking is it doesn't matter if it is the best week of production. you can get a bad overclocker even in good weeks though getting one in a good week ups the chances of you getting a good overclocker. Just like not all cb0s could reach 933 and above week 36 durons might not reach pass their default. So you just pray you get a really good chip and your good.

 

[RobsTV]

Actually with the Duron's, overclocking is not hoping you get a good one.
ANY normal Duron (90%+ of the ones made), will run at 900MHz. Doesn't matter if it's a 600 or an 800, most will run at 900MHz. A Good one will run at 1Ghz. A bad Duron will still run at a minimum of 750Mhz. Any Duron that will not run at 750MHz is defective, plain and simple, and most likely has problems with it's internal cache. The chances of this are very rare, probably around 1 in 500. Personally, with the 12 Duron 600 systems I've built, I've never seen a 600 NOT run 935MHz 100% stable, but these were all with Abit motherboards.

 

[hans007]

they are pulls, usually you get pulls if orders are canceled on say a lot of systems. Or on returns from computer that have been sold, returned for some reason (usually customer is a moron or something like that), and you cant sell them as new, so they are sold off to computer "chop shop" types kinda like compgeeks i guess.

 

[TuOni]

The chips I ordered both clocked at 927 stable. Good buy

HEAT WARE

Guys, I'm one of those Celeron dweebs (got a bunch of 366@550, a 300a, two 566@850, etc). The only AMD I've had is a 486. I like AMD but right now is there a cheap motherboard that will work with this Duron and overclock and is stable?

I'm kinda hoping the Duron motherboards get cheap and stable ASAP. If that has happened please post with recommendations!

EDIT: forgot, I had an AMD 386dx/40 too. That was one wicked chip with 8mb of RAM (8x1mb SIMMs ).

 

[DealBabe]
