OT: Looking for a 3.06ghz P4?

Look no further! Only $699!!!! I think i'll pick me up one, would get more but only one combo per customer Hey, even free fed-ex saver shipping :Q

i'd rather build 2 or 3 pcs for the price of one based on that

$700? For a friggin' CPU? Two words: RIP OFF!!!

For that price, you could get an MSI K7D Master motherboard ($~160), a pair of AMD Athlon MP 1200 processors ($~70 each), a 512 MB stick of Registered ECC PC2100 ($186.29), a pair of Thermalright SK7 heatsinks ($~22 each), a pair of Thermaltake Smart Fan II's ($~15 each), A Sunon medium-speed case fan ($~5), and an Enlight case with 300W PSU ($~60)!

The total is $630. You've still got $70 left, why not spend it on a nice sound card? A Turtle Beach Santa Cruz OEM ($62) sounds pretty good.

To add insult to injury, this high-end SMP rig you bulit for less than the price of that CPU will not only outperform it but completely blow it away in real world apps AND benchmarks!

Intel Inside. Idiot Outside.

Yikes! $700 for 1 CPU? wow:Q I suppose it'd be great for those that want the newest fastest compters but I'll stick to my $49 XP1600s from newegg:Q

Thanks for the heads-up! I don't think those are compatible with my A7V333-R, however... the heatsink attaches differently If you spot any Bartons, however...

LOL, i'm not really buying one. I wouldn't blow $700 on a processor! My post was meant to be sarcastic
