Just got one of the main LOCAL AMD importer's new pricing, hot off the press...looking good. 4200+ is 47% cheaper, like they said. Thats more than a R1000 drop.
Just downloaded my pricelist, and the price drops are just amazing :eek: :D

Check his sig...

supersun, do you do swaps? Like if someone brings a 3200+ 939 and they want a 3800/4200+ X2 they give you their old one and pay the difference?

Headstrong, PM me or mail me, sorry I dont have my site up yet, I'm having some difficulty with that. If you require something more (like AMD single core prices or Intel prices or upcoming Core 2 Duo prices) feel free to ask.

feo, sorry, finances dont allow for that and what would I do with a used processor anyway, can't ethically sell it as new.

AMD may have dropped prices on their chips, but I think their sales are not going to do the same. :)

By cutting their margins, the increase in turnover will balance the one against the other.
The AMD chips are a very good buy at these prices.
