New rig...A64 3000+ or A64 3200+

my poor rig is starting to show its age, but this looks fairly enticing...

a64 3000+ for 168 at zipzoomfly, 160 at buyxtremegear

a64 3200+ for 212 at zipzoomfly, 204 at buyxtremegear

vnf3-250 for 80 only at zipzoomfly. free shipping at both places for anything purchased, but zipzoomfly is free second day with free cds, and farcry! the price looks better than anything i've seen as of late (minus the newegg combo, which was 238 shipped for the msi k8t neo & 3000+, but no agp/pci lock on the board)

hrm, save 8 bucks and get them shipped seperately?

thinking about doing a bit of OCing though, i just picked up a gig of ocz4001024p3dc-k from frys, and it looks like they're are elixir chips and 3-4-4-8....might just drop the extra few bucks and get some cas 2.5 corsair to mess w/.

looks like it'll be 461 for the ram, mobo, and memory if i go 3200+ and get it from zipzoomfly, or 418 if i go with the 3000+ combo.

do you guys think there'll be any more drops, or better deals in the next few days? suggestions?

discuss! if i'm convinced, i'll order monday! doom3 is here!!!
 
I don't know which to buy 😛 but just to warn you, buyxtremegear has pretty crappy reviews over resellerratings
 
yeah, that's what i've heard. i think i'll get it from zipzoomfly instead.

now, the 3200+ or 3000+? wonder whcih is the better OCer, and how high ppl have gotten on stock.
 
yeah, i saw. zipzoomfly has about the same prices (actually a bit cheaper), i was going to just order it all from there - that, and i don't have to pay for shipping, AND...it's free 2nd day!
 
because this is cheaper 🙂

newegg has been iffy with their prices and stock as of late. whenever they post a combo, one of the parts isn't in stock, and when they both are, they jack up the prices a few bucks.
 
that's not in the budget. those 1mb cache chips are kinda a little too much. i was having trouble justifying spending an extra 50 bucks between a 3000+ and 3200+ newcatsle.

come on guys, don't make suggestions that you all know i can't even consider.
 
Just a warning for you, PinchyCM, since you said you plan on overclocking...

It looks like both the OEM and retail versions of the 3000+ are C0 revisions over at ZipZoomFly, and the OEM 3200+ is also a C0. The only one that isn't is the retail 3200+, but I don't know if you want retail or not or if you're going with the 3200+ or the 3000+.

I'm going to be getting a 3000+ soon for overclocking purposes (hoping to get to 250 FSBx10 on air 🙂) and I'm going with the Retail 3000+ since I know that it's a CG revision (it's got AX in the model number). I wouldn't buy one of them if you aren't sure it's a CG, since the C0's don't overclock as far. I think it's worth the extra 10 or so bucks for a guaranteed CG.

Anyway, good luck,
 
i probably won't buy them OEM, just because i dont have the $ to get a better HSF right now, and the price difference between them is neglible.

i'd either be gettting the retail 3000+ or the 3200+.
 
It's too bad you missed out on the promo that AMD had going.

AMD 3200 Newcastle, Asus K8V Deluxe, an AMD64 T-shirt, Farcry all for 179.99 no gimmicks all you have to do is take a 20 question 15 of which you have to get right, kiss AMD butt test.

You have to pay shipping and taxes if you live in certain states though.
 
i couldn't get in on it. us legitmate guys couldn't get on it because spammer bought a ton to sell on ebay and screwed over the little guy.
 
It was brought back to life last monday. I orderd mine Friday night. I'll have to wait until tommorow if they have any left. Also this second time around, it seems you're only allowed one. People who ordered more then one, where cancelled.
 
mine got cancelled twice. i think i ordered on friday as well. 🙁

are you checking the status on it? u should call 🙂
