If that SOYO board is the SY-P4S DRAGON Ultra, then that is a crazy hot deal. That board goes for $140+ all by itself!

 

[caljr]

Soyo SY-P4S Dragon Lite according to the ad.

lucky bay area ppl...the LA area frys has a retail p4 1.8a and a via mobo for $199

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Is that the FIC with the KT266a chip and onboard raid?
Hope someone can fill me in
Thanks...

Also can someone post any of the scanner deals in the friday ad?
My scanner died just recently

 

[PeterPan2002]

Yes , it is AN11 Stealth KT266A w/ Raid . I got this combo last month for $129 but w/ Xp1700+ though

 

[Chantitan]

fry's add shows Athlon XP 1700+ FIC motherboard for $139 not XP 1800

 

[docinthebox]

It's XP1800, not 1700. From page 6H of today (Friday)'s San Jose Mercury:

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Processor with QuantiSpeed Architecture and FIC Motherboard

$139

 

[fatbaby]

1700+ is in los angeles area

 

[Fireman]

1700+ in wilsonville OR as well.
Is that FIC a good board?

 

[RayW69]

Still a nice deal deal for the Lite version I suppose. There does seem to be a $10 rebate on the Soyo SY-P4S Lite. Is that included in the quoted price of $209?

 

[docinthebox]

Most of the comments I've seen about the AN11 are positive. It seems like a pretty stable board.

One thing though: the original bios only supports up to XP2000+. If you want to use XP2100+ or higher, you need to flash the bios to the latest version here. I think that means you somehow need to have access to an XP2000+ or lower in order to flash the bios.

anyone know if the la area frys will honor the xp 1800 if i were to say that the frys in the bay area has the same mobo/cpu combo with a xp 1800 instead of the 1700? sorry if this question has already been answered in pervious posts

 

[cheapgoose]

the official policy of Frys is that they WILL NOT honor or match other Fry's sales, ads, or price.

I bought the FIC AN11 a few weeks ago for 69 bucks. in bay area.

Sac Frys had it for 59, so I tried to get an price adjustment for it at san jose, manager refused.

Went to second frys, manager repeated the same policy but then said, "well, it's only 10 bucks, I guess it's ok."

so YMMV big time here.

the board is decent, haven't had any problems with it.

not a good board if you want to OC, it does not have FSB adjustments, I have heard you can bump it up in bios thought, just another 33.

 

[illmustard]

thanks cheapgoose. i'll go haggle the manager at my local frys

It does have FSB adjustments in the bios, just not in 1MHz increments. My XP 1700+ is running at 1.59GHz right now, which is basically XP 1900+ speed.
