Smoking deal but I was unaware of a 900 P3P. I am assuming 100FSB x 9.

I wonder how TigerDirect is selling these packages so low!

Yeah, 100FSB * 9

133FSB would require a 6.75 multiplier :)
That's not good. Having a 133MHz memory performance would require a 1200MHz overclock (!)

If someone finds out for sure, post here. Even better if 933, but it *could* be 866, 800, ...

Give them a call!

( any coupons other then the $10 for using MC? )

>> yes, but as far as I know there is not a P3P with a multiplier of 9..

Oops, you are right :eek:

I figured so much MazingerZ ;)

Anyway, I just tried calling to find out more on this but of course, they are closed. Would be nice if it comes with a HS+F, but I doubt it.

This is a great deal for upgrading my gf's 266. She's got PC133 and was looking for a mobo/proc. As long as she doenst have a faster system then me! ( 1 gig for me )

Time for bed, post info if anyone finds out more.

there is a PIII 900, but it's reserved for OEM systems.
I don't know whether tiger is supposed to sell them without a whole system or not.

Someone needs to confirm what processor comes with it. I did like this quote from the description though:



<< The motherboard is a regular $339 value all by itself!... >>



heh, I think they meant the processor.

I still like the deal at Buy.com better.

I got the PENTIUM III P3 850MHZ/256K L2 CACHE 100MHZ FSB SLOT1 SECC2 for $230
and then bought a Soyo 6VBA +100 for $99.00 from MWave + shipping

Ok, does not come with HS+F.

HS+F from them: $8.99,
shipping UPS Ground: $10.99,
processor on backorder, said 1 week for stock (sure..., it is ALWAYS 1 week).

From what I see, there is only a $10 off for using your mastercard, so that eats the shipping (anyone know of other c0up0ns speak up, just dont post them!). Only Florida, North Carolina, and Illinois pay sales tax too.

So now it's $350 + 8.99 + 10.99 - 10.00 = $359.98$

I still belive this is really good for the package, any better deals? ( Only Intel, NO AMDead here either.. )

before any of you even THINK about this, see if any of the people that ordered the $489 package a couple weeks back even got theirs first (or IF they are even going to get them).
