AMD price drop

[zeb]

I see the madness has begun. You can get a 939 4000+ for under R1500.
If you have a 939 board and plan on doing a cheap upgrade do it now 'cause these babies won't be around for much longer me thinks.

Question...Is the AMD for 64 bit only?...

 

[ZuBS_]

From where?

I don't know much about the AMD's...So pleas enlighten me...

Question...Is the AMD for 64 bit only?...

Not sure I completely understand the question, but if you mean to ask if 32 bit apps work on 64 bit systems, then the answer is yes.

From where?

Crest, Eurobyte or if you don't have a dealer account or connection I see Sybaritic has them for R1576

Thanks,yes it does answer my question...a
Another Q...Will it work on a Intel 925chip set MB socket 775+PCIE?...

Will it work on a Intel 925chip set MB socket 775+PCIE?...

Nope, unfortunately not, but a single socket world is a dream of mine

Oh well, I'll just have to wait until I do a major upgrade...Any Ideas of a good one?......

 

[zeb]

I wish I did. No matter what you buy nowadays by the time you've installed Windows they're bound to bring out a new chipset

 

[LabAnimal]

so its true - new hardware is "technically" obsolete every 14 days.

I have a Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939.

Where have you seen the 4000+ for a good price?

 

[S1ght]

I'm trying to get me one of those 4000+ from eurobyte, just trying to sell my pc

 

[Captain Beer]

I need to sell this 3000+ now!

 

[supersunbird]

A 3000+ sells for R800, a 2,4GHz 3800+ for R1200!

 

[Nokkie]

when the 4000+ AMD chip arrived in SA I paid R4000 bucks for it isn't it ironic?

And the prices of the X2's? are they still the same?

 

[supersunbird]

They actually went up a little due to exchange rate.

I doubt we'll have a price war, because this basicaly the only thing AMD can do ATM to combat Conroe, because AFAIK the cheapest and slowest conroe performs like an AMD FX-60

 

[sdd]

COme to think about it ... guess you're right ... AMD has got no other market offering to combat Intels Conroe ... so its down to price to make some turnover....
