Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

[a1strank]

Well there is GeForce PCX 6600gt out there that would fit on that board..it is pretty cheap too.

Whoa, I just figured out that I'm going to happen to be home (Bay Area, CA) to attend the Sunnyvale show. I'm only home for a total of 3 weeks this summer from school (Philadelphia)...and this works out...I'm ordering a combo now!

 

[iamverycrazy]

Anyone is going to the Boston one?

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

I'll still be on vacation July 1st, so I registered and will probably cruise down to Sunnyvale. Can we start to get a list of attendees for each show, OP?, so those of us with no geeky friends can have people to pass the time with?

I'm in from Chicago. I don't know if I can get a ride from Machesney Park (near Rockford) yet. My car just broke down today. Talk about bad timing.

 

[chuckywang]

Question: Will Windows XP x64 run every program Windows XP Pro runs? Will some devices not work with x64 because of driver issues?

 

[RobinR]

Likely, yes.


Anybody having troubles actually ordering one? I get an error msg for the Vancouver website.

Also, Ill buy the 250 system for myself, but would I be able to sell the server for very much?

 

[amheck]

Why don't you ask AMD how much you should sell their "NFR" hardware for?

 

[Bacinator]

No where close to Washington DC. Sucks. Nice bundles. Good luck.

That was hilarious, did you think that one up all on your own???

 

[Taejin]

Anyone can verify to me whether the core of the 3200+ is a venice/winchester/newcastle?

 

[w0ss]

I am heading up to the boston one. Wish it wasn't almost 2 months away I want my dual opteron.

 

[dheffer]

that dual opteron would be amazing alright... if only the mobo was different
ah decisions decisions, i already have a dfi lanparty and 3000+ winchester, so it's hard to justify buying this =/

 

[priteshmpatel]

i wish i could make the one in dallas. it on a damn tuesday. i wish i could get my hands on the desktop bundle for 250.00

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Awesome find guys. If only that mobo on the dual opteron deal was better...... I wonder if the 3200+ is a Venice or a Winchester.

 

[Lithan]

Im going to the east brunswick, NJ one. If anyone wants to hook up there and stick together let me know (We can bulls*** around too if you want).

If you are willing to drive the 3.5-4 hr drive, East Brusnwick, NJ shouldn't be too bad! I am planning to drive myself with my wife - not sure yet!

 

[StyleMechanics]

Ill be heading to the Sunnyvale event...gonna skip outta work early.

 

[WorldTraveller]

I can't decide yet if I want to order the bundle or not! Too bad you can't buy the bundle at the site! I am not too crazy about the MoBo & we are not sure about the core on the single core!

 

[lsman]

someone goes to the chicago tomorrow pls undate with the CPU core? Thanks. (But I will say winchester most likely)
and if the NB of the asus is a newer/quieter vision)

 

[MJGunn]

Whats the difference between the venice and winchester cores?

Also, is your card charged when you order the bundle, or is it charged close to the event?

 

[theHeat]

If anyone is going and can pick me up either combo, please PM me and I will toss some extra cash your way for shipping and your time spent. I can't believe there aren't any stops in Arizona, not even Phoenix.

Thanks!

 

[woodman1999]

Do they really check your profession? Like I don't do any IT and at some point I'd like to try and go to one of these(not this year). Can I go and just fudge the Registration?

Well, Venice OC better, has SSE3, and is more expensive since it just came out. And my card is already charged. I'm going Irvine event on 27th of this month, so I still have 27 days to go, but my card was charged sometime around this Monday.
