Freaking Hot 3200!!

Great price! I ordered my 3200+ Venice from Newegg for $190 last week.....

It was retail though. This would be smoking like a bonfire if it was a retail.

your right, those free games would be cool although i already beat far cry 😎
 
This deal is close though. If you count shipping, its only a 5 dollar difference in price reduction.

Why are these 64bit chips so expensive. Are they that much better than 32 bit? I have my mobile XP-M2400 oc'd to over 2400MHz, and I paid only $77.00 OEM in NOV. of 2004. Please explain.

Because they are much faster. Athlon XP = K7 Architecture. Athlon 64 = K8 Architecture. A Athlon 64 @ 2.4GHz will spank a Athlon XP @ 2.6GHz.

A64 chips are the ones that are overpriced? Seriously? 😕

Anyways, I think I'll be buying the 3000+ Venice from Ewiz for $119 shipped. I don't see the point in spending $30 more for something that I'll oc just as high as I will the 3000+.
