Maybe because of the combo deal...?

 

[madhatR]

yeah they are there only with a combo deal .. if u try and look at the cpus on their own .. prices are the normal prices

 

[yo4444]

with those combos, you either have to take the retail box version, which is not discounted, or you HAVE to buy a cooler from them for a minimum of $25.00 or so if you get OEM cpu.
The only retail box there that looks reasonable is the 3500 and it looks like a mistake, being cheaper than the OEM.

I'm waiting for the 939 prices to drop.

 

[madhatR]

just wait until the 24th .. only like a week away ..

*Hopes the Opteron 165/170 will drop too

 

[biglonstud]

Mmm... dual core... I just bought an AM2 3000+ Sempron Manila($55, $66 shipped), and am planning on overclocking it, and using to it hold me off till K8L...

Those dual core prices look great... but I wanto hold off till K8L.

Sweet Find, prices are already starting to drop.

not sure if the 165 will anymore at monarch currently it is 310 but the 80$ off coupon works for the `165 oem.

there is no drop on 2x1mb cache chips, or at least thats the word and if there is a price drop you can bet it will be tinmy but anything helps right

 

[kovboi]

opteron 146 for $119.99 + shipping = pretty good deal if you want a single core processor with oc potential.

Why would anyone even look at these AM2 chips with Conroe on the horizon?

 

[LoneWolf121188]

Someone want to explain to me why the OEM 4600 is like $300 cheaper than the boxed 4600?

 

[AlabamaCajun]

Saw prices drop at EWiz also.

 

[thaclassikz]

Just get a pentium d 805 if u want dual core.

 

[yo4444]

Boy!!, the fanboyz have made themselves known...

 

[vixro]

Why would anyone even look at these AM2 chips with Conroe on the horizon?

Because when the price drops hit, AMD's processors will be almost half the price or more of conroe? Who cares how fast conroe is going to be when something "slightly" slower is half the price. Go figure.

 

[Dermen]

The price cuts are also for 939 and some of us have single core 939 systems and can just throw a dual core into our rigs for $150 instead of buying a conroe for $175 plus $200+ for a new MB and another $100-200 for new ram.

 

[Froggy]

Because some of us don't want to pay the 200-300 watt per second power bill that a 805D entails!

Just get a pentium d 805 if u want dual core.
