cool, i'll order 2. only joking

 

[looktall]

wow. you mean a computer component is actually cheaper in australia than in the us?

makes a change.
they can be got for as low as $1369 maybe even lower, i haven't exactly been comparing prices.

EDIT: btw, AU$1369 = roughly US$690

 

[Kbird]

Googlegear has them a little cheaper.

Wow that's a heck of a lot of money. Well maybe the 2.8 will drop in price a little now, which would be good.

exactly when the 2.8 gets down to about $200 i'll probably pick one up.

I'll do the same to that 3.066GHZ or newer ones. I'll never pay $200+ for a processor. ( I paid $218 for PIII 733MHZ 2 years ago)

 

[Jeff Bolton]

well i paid $200 for my 2.26, and i don't consider that very expensive considering intel's prices. i'd never pay $200 for an AMD.

Two years ago I paid $218(include shipping) for a PIII 733MHZ. And it couldn't even do 825MHZ stable.

intel has a price cut coming up pretty soon.

 

[oops]

lol, that 3.066GHZ chip is very popular It's out of stock in newegg already, and the price has gone up to $730 from $720.

 

[Maxvla]

its the hyperthreading thats garnering all the attention for the 306

Googlegear has had them for $690 for over a week now. I am surprised Newegg is that much more. It's obvious why I haven't seen more than 1 moderate (stock Vc) OC report on them If I see a few that can reach 3.6+ or so on air, I might consider one when they drop to a little more sane price.

With 1.8 and 2.0 C1s hitting 3.2+ though, one of them and a DCDDR mobo for less $$ than the 3.06 by itself might be in order...

Should of went to either P3 700 or P3 800 for both have 100mhz fsb. Your 733 is already at 133mhz fsb. I had 4 or 5 700's last year and everyone did 933mhz (133fsb) without a problem while others i maxed at 1022 and 1035.

you could probably slip in a couple sticks of memory and still be under 730.

I agree, but when I ordered that PIII 733MHZ processor, there was NO 700MHZ or 800MHZ. There were 733, 833, 866, etc.(and I do remember once there was a 766MHZ, but it disappeared later) And those 700MHZ and 800MHZ were out later.

Also, It's too late already......

1. I already bought that PIII 733MHZ

2. I already gave away my PIII 733 system

3. I already have 2 high end P4 systems

Hehe...my first OC experience was a Cel 633 that I took out of an ancient HP...got up to 1017 with just Vc and and a Volcano 7
