w00t! Gettin a 4400! Now...where from?

LoneWolf121188 · Jul 2, 2005

So my original plan was to get a 3700 SD, but I managed to scrape up a little extra cash and now I'm going with the 4400! :santa:

...That is, if I can actually find it for around its MSRP of $581. TD has it for $626, ZZF has it for $639, and newegg has it for a whopping $719!!! I don't mind waiting a week, but I'm selling my proc this week or next, so if I wait more than that, my computer will be down until I get the X2...and that would be bad :bang head

Got mine at TD.com and it paid off.

FYI

An interesting article about
Intel "Pentium D" and "840 Extreme Edition" Dual-Core CPUs,
with comparision to AMD X2 (4800+) on power, various benchmarking results and overclocking, ....
http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=384519

Performances of dual cores with HT, dual cores without HT, single cores with HT and singles cores without HT are compared.

What is dual-core

that review is so intel biased even though the x2 4800+ came out better in alot of the benches. example number one they wc and used xp-120 on their intel chips and only used a retail stock amd hsf. and also in this benchmark http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=384519&P=7 they didnt even oc the x2 4800+

If you're in a hurry, I'd definitely confirm any order before trusting it. Many folks who ordered from vendors claiming to have the 4400 in stock, over the last couple weeks are still waiting with no clear shipping date. Some of these vendors charge your credit card right away, so you pay interest charges while you wait. If I were in your position, I wouldn't believe I had a CPU coming until I got a tracking number.

That's why you call the place you're ordering from. I thought everyone learned that after the Venice/Sparco debacle

They pre-sold like crazy, then said they were shipping them out and never did. Sparco said they would be the first to have Venice and in fact they ended up being like the last folks to have it. Moral there is to not pre-order or order items on back order. Just buy it when it's in stock and that's been confirmed.
