Info Found an old hardware price sheet from ?? (2001 ??) You won't believe it. The CPU prices especially !

So, first, looking here: https://www.inflationtool.com/us-dollar/2001-to-present-value

If something cost $100 then, it would be $147 today Now for the prices (I don't want to scan the image, in case thats not legal). These are from a local PC parts place that in its era was very inexpensive.

Video
ATI Radeon 7500 64 meg w/tv $147 or now $216
ASUS 8200 T5 Deluxe 64 meg $415 or $610 today

If you want some other item let me know, but I don't have time to convert 200-300 prices.

I think so.. From what I have read, but as I said, for some reason the BIOS updates for the 400 series won't be available until as late as next year.

No problem, I'm not exactly in any rush, the 5 1600 unit @3.6 is still really a decent mid-level CPU, I'm only running an
RX-480 GPU anyway so I'm behind the curve in the video card cycle. I just like the idea that down the road a drop n swap
will be available, like the old days of Conroe.

When I started DC 15 years ago, I had 4 FX-60s at $1009 each.
