Welp, Buy.com screwed up my order, and has told me I'd have to wait til 1/27 before they'll be able to ship me a 1 gig tbird. :(

I've been shopping around various vendors and seeing some pretty good prices. Was wondering if anyone knows of a good vendor with this cpu at a decent price?

The 1Ghz's OEM's are all over the place, expect to pay ~ $185.00

For OEM, check Pricewatch.com, for retail box, check pricegrabber.com

Same thing happened when I ordered a 1G from Buy.com for a friend. I JUST cancelled it. Go to ICOMPZ and give them a call (lower prices with a phone call). I got a 1.1G for $215 last week and will be ordering a 1G for my friend for $169 + FOP32-1 (Heatsink/Fan) for $23. Shipping is around $12. So total for a 1G Athlon w/HSF and Shipping (2day) is $205.

Doh, they must have changed their prices recently. The 1 Gig Tbird is going for 186 now, unless I'm looking in the wrong place? =\

Aos- you need to call icompz and order it over the phone, and ask them for the pricewatch price. they'll give it to you for $169 then. i talked to a CSR named Rita, she seemed pretty helpful, and gave me that price without me having to mention it (she offered it to me).

hope that helps :)
