Great find, but

How much is shipping?

How much is the cheapest CPU?

Thanks

That isnt bad you can pick up a 1.7Ghz Celeron for under 100 bucks off newegg.

Not bad for a midrange system. Not bad at all.

Sales Tax for FL, NC, IL residents only; for shipping to CA it is $33.20 UPS.

Newegg has Pentium 4 1.6A GHz 512K Socket 478 Processor 400MHz Processor Bus w/hsf for $138 shipped. Anyone know how well this board will overclock.

thanks stt1stt1.
I hate those companies were you have to let your pants down (i.e. "sign up", name, email etc etc) just to find out about their shipping of that particular item.

Thanks.

for overclocking 1.6a, Id suggest to go with a different chipset motherboard. the other via p4x266 mobo that I know could only go to 112mhz, where as you could take 1.6a to 133mhz at 2.1ghz with stock intel heatsink with virtually no heat difference(+3 Celsium). Gigabyte has a few popular inexpensive overclockers boards
