You're better of getting the Fry's combo:

E6300 + ECS 945 board (AGP and DDR support).

I'm awaiting the Intel Retail Edge promo...that's why I asked.
Dunno if I can get a better deal w/a better motherboard & still get Vista.

The FX-55 is still a .13 micron chip, and consequently runs pretty hot. If you must have a socket 939 FX, then at least lean towards the FX-57.

Delima for me is that I need a dual core board with SLI that will overclock the E6300 like a mother. I'm not giving up my dual 7800GT's anytime soon.

i'm still on socket 754 w/3400.......:brokenheart:[/quote]


I am currently using a 2.4 GHz socket 475 Pentium 4 on a 400 MHz bus.[/quote]


I'm right there with you...

BTW... they just dropped it down to $139... I'm tempted to bite but Core 2 Duos are just so sweet

The current deal is a San Diego core 90nm OEM for $139.00 with the AMDROCKS coupon code.

This one is a San Diego core, so 90nm.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't know they started offering .09 FX-55s, thought only the FX-57 got the San Diego core.
