1.4 athlon 266... $162.00 or $261.00 ?

[GERRY136]

newegg.com has it for 162 oem
and egghead has it for 261.
even if the 261 is retail (im not sure) why the $100 difference?

fill me in on this please.
thanx

There is no real difference accept the extra $100 gets you a cheep heatsink and a better warranty. The chips themselves should be exactly the same. I woud never pay the $100 more.

[GERRY136]

cool thats probably what ill get then.
i emailed them to see if they would tell me if its an axia or give me the code... havent heard anything yet lol

[jeff_harrison_344]

Tell us what they say when you get the email.

[GERRY136]

will do.

Don't you know, it'll run $100 faster! :) At least Intel wishes people believed that.

LOLOLOL!!!!

well i havent heard from newegg about the code on the 1.4 but i sent the email late yesterday and its only 8 am here now. ill let everyone know how it goes.

I think all the 1.4's are AHYJA (something like that)

I oredered the 1.4 from newegg, and before that, called them to see if they new the stepping code of the chips they were sending out. They said taht they just send them, and dont pay attention to it. But i got it, and got a AYHJA Y, so i was pretty happy. You'd prolly get one too

Hope it helps

Later

Yeah, I've been very happy with newegg. They price their chips right and have such a high turnover, they seem to get the newest steppings right away. My 1.33 is an AHYJA, and my (now chipped/burnt)1.2 was a week 5 AXIA when I bought it in March

[GERRY136]

yeah newegg has emaied me and said the same thing... they move the chips quickly and cant hand pick them for folks. oh well, glad to hear u guys had good expreiences with them cause thats where im gettin mine.
picking up 750 t-bird tomorrow for my current setup.
