Is this worth getting?


First-come, first-serve 9750 processors, remaining orders will be shipped the energy efficient 9150e while supplies last.








This appears something only available to the OP from what I am reading. If I am wrong on this, PM the mod account with a link where others can get in on this deal. I will then unlock it.

Hell ya take that deal!

Good street sale prices

9750 $110
4850 $90

So you're saving $33 with a possibility of getting another processor (that you may or may not want)

No mobo? Pff.

Yeah,

It seems like the processor is a year old orphan they are trying to get rid of and since they don't give any specificity on the 4850 video card, I'm assuming that one probably has something wrong with it too. My AMD is lame meter started to peg but I wanted to see what you guys thought...

thanks for the info I was wondering what cpu was included in this.

 

[nyker96]

i wish they include the newer 955BE.

It seems like the AMD Retail Access EPP's aren't as good as the Intel Retail Edge EPP.
At least Intel's stuff is still fairly new, while the AMD stuff is on the way out.
I guess this is a good deal for someone who has an ancient system and is wanting a cheap upgrade.
IIRC, shiipping is somewhat steep on these EPP's.
