Well, we've repeatedly posted about the 22 July price cut so I dont know what to tell you lol

 

[scotty777]

Hmmm.... I hope that the price cuts are good in china, coz if not, i'm gonna stay loyal to amd, i mean i can get a amd 6000+ for R1200,

dablakmark8, they waited for you to buy a cpu, then they lowered the prices

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Aah thanks, might look at those chips again now..

 

[proximiti99]

Very nice pricing.. especially the Q6600.. BTW itz take2.co.za not take!!

 

[Project X]

should i buy a q6600 or the e6600 cpu and why?

 

[Project X]

and when do the prices kick in?

 

[proximiti99]

Three months ago I would hav told u go for the E6600 purely bcause of price..now u get the Q6600 @ the E6600 old price Well worth it. You may wanna take note that u wont see a performance boost in gaming due to most games not optimised for Quad Core, but general multi-tasking it's a kickass chip, also covers u when the developers start optimising games for quad core

hmmm .... I have a question:

how many of you buy CPUs that cost R5,000+?

 

[scotty777]

I buy systems for R5 000+! I won't go over R1 500 for a cpu, coz anything higher is for bragging and since i play games there's little performance increase, unless you got a 8800gts-gtx coz then having a monster cpu only decreases the bottle necking as those graphics cards are to powerful for current cpu's

 

[Project X]

Are these cards available yet?

 

[supersunbird]

I'll let you know tomorrow if the PROCESSORS are available yet when I get e-mails from my suppliers...

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Prphecy has them coming in by the end of this month, 27 and 25 July I think, so basically they'll be here next week or soon enough.

I do, though i try to keep it to a minimum

prefer buying many 2 to 3k processors at the same time.

 

[Fudzy]

I see there was a Quad Core system in the SM section of the paper for R5999.

 

[supersunbird]

Ok, here are some new prices:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333Mhz Frontside Bus - R1600

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333Mhz Frontside Bus - R1850

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 1333Mhz Frontside Bus - R2660

 

[Toxin]

I wonder where ComputersOnly get their stock. INTEL Core2 Quad Q6600 for R2599-00.

Not bad.

get a quad core there are future proof and f@#$ FAST!!! dual core's are not worth it anymore now that quad cores are here
