Slot A Athlon 1GHz for $180?

[pjyeoh]

Hi all,
What is a reasonable price to pay for a Slot A Athlon 1GHz processor these days?

180?

lol, you can get a new mobo/cpu/ram for that....

 

[DamnDirtyApe]

$15 maybe... ?

 

[pjyeoh]

Thanks for the feedback.
I knew I was getting ripped when I saw that price tag.
Any idea what is a good place to look if I want to get the Slot A Athlon 1GHz for $15 (or under $50)?

yeah they are hard to find but 180 is asking too much
try for 40 to 50 bucks for one
i remember a year ago they were going for 90 bucks on e-bay and pricewatch
this is insane

Slot A, lol. Why do you even bother?

you'd be better off getting a used KT133A MB for 20 bucks and a paly XP chip for 30-40

I agree... although for about $50 you can get an nForce2 board, and for another $50 you can get an XP1800 that will overclock =)

It's a collector's item these days

It'll be worth more in a few years

Only if it has a Voodoo5 5500 in it

Perhaps I'll keep my Slot A Athlon 700.... wonder if my uncle still has his Slot A Athlon 500 or 550.. one of the two iirc.

Look for a 900 or 950, should be much cheaper.

Also, unless your board supports the T-bird slot A, make sure you are getting a "Classic" slot A.

The VIA based boards generally don't support the T-Birds.

I'd only pay about $20 for a used Slot A 1ghz cpu. Maybe $30 if it is a hard to find item.
