Thoughbred XP 2100+ RETAIL not available... should I get palomino instead ?

[Thor_Sevan]

I first wanted a RETAIL Thoughbred Athlon XP 2100+ but it seems its not yet available in Montreal.
So, should I get the Palomino RETAIL version or an OEM Athlon XP 2200+ PLUS a 25$(CAN) fan ? The only thing is that the OEM CPU has a 24h warranty... 😕

Thor_Sevan !

Hey Sevan! Ça c'est pas mal moche. Moi je pense que je prendrais le Palomino dans la boite. Play it safe. Alors quand va tu recevoir ton ordi finalment?

Should I pay a little more for the new core or the palomino is just good enough ?

Hey Macdude... 😉 Je sais... mais le Thoughbred chauffe moins...

I have yet to seem a Tbred 2100+ at Newegg 🙁
If you plan to o/c I don't either will do well, it's a tough call on which one to get. But I would get the Palo for $$ reasons.

You might have to check again... they are both in...

I am looking at newegg now and see the 2100+ oem and retail in stock, however they do not indicate they are Tbreds like the 2200+ does.
