The 4200+ is going to easily do 2.65 ghz, all you do is throw in the 333mhz memory divider, and up the FSB to 240, and lower the HDT ratio to 3x. Now, how much voltage this will take is the question. My best guess is no more than an extra .05V, which should be well within reason.

The higher multi and nice heat sink make the 4200+ a no-brainer upgrade for ~$25 over the 3800+ x2.

Doesn't the 4200 & 3800 both come with the same heatsink?


 
Fry's has the 4200+ x2 with the ECS K8T-890 for $249.99 in todays paper.
The 3800+ x2 with the ECS C51GM-M board is for 199.99.

Sorry, I thought there was something about August in there. Gotta love quoting from memory 😉

Glad you got the date though.


Intel Core 2 Extreme processor based systems and boxed product are expected to be available on the day of launch, 27 July. Intel Core 2 Duo processor based systems and boxed product [through places such as Newegg] are expected to be available from 7 August. Each OEM has their own product introduction / transition cycles based upon their target market segment and current product offerings. We expect some to offer product in August with more introductions extending through September. Check with the OEMs of your choice to get their specific message on system availability.

it will never hit $40, no sempron, nor celeron has even hit that low that i know of...

its monday now. the price still hasnt really dropped like i expected. when can we see more savings?

you're absolutly crazy, monarch's prices are nearly $5-$10 over what AMD released as the OEM WHOLESALE prices, and in terms of RETAIL the 4600+ is nearly $60 less ($240) than AMD suggested ($301) for the cpu... that's about a 57% discount! (over last week's prices - $550)

The X2 4200 I bought this past March came with a regular aluminum heatsink.

They've also removed everything except the 3800+, 4200+, and 4600+ X2's from the listing entirely now. Perhaps not anticipating restock of anything else?
 
Its been OOS and back in stock all this morning, so keep refreshing that page if you wish to buy from mwave. I finally got through and ordred the 4200+ X2, with CA tax and 3 day shipping it came out to $210 total
 
That's why I ordered at 7am, folks 😀

I wanted a 4600+ for the GF, but a 4200+ will have to do, plus it's lighter on the wallet...

😛

This should almost be its own thread, watching mwave...

Hey OP, could you edit the title, please?

Thanks,
Nat
 
3800+ and 4600+ BACK IN STOCK PEOPLE @ MWAVE. . . GO GO GO GO !!!!!!!!!

Still showing 7/25 for the 4200+, I'll admit, it's mainly the free copy of AoE3 that got me to go that way, lol!! I haven't played a good RTS in forever (mainly because I suck at them, but that's beside the point).
 
Newegg 4200+ (939) is now at $199. The 3800+ is staying put at $289 though.

[EDIT] Strike that, on the main page the 3800+ was still showing at $289, but when I checked my wish list it was listed at $169.
