..........man, i don't even want to think about them days when we paid over $220+ for them 2.2Ghz Opterons

I remember when an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ was $300 at cheapest... :p.

Are these socket 939?

Well I spent $150, yup thats right $150 dollars on a freakin AMD Athlon X2 4200+.:banghead:

If you have an AM2 board, you should be able to simply drop in a phenom, right?Or do you need an AM2+ board?

If you think about it, with the low price of amd's processors now they're still pretty competitive when it comes to a low price point.

magibegIf you think about it, with the low price of amd's processors now they're still pretty competitive when it comes to a low price point.

Really prices of processor to performance compared to Intel isn't that good. But when you factor in a good mobo...Intel's are alot more.

SovereignI just paid $75 shipped for my 2.4GHz Opteron (thats a Santa Ana AM2, not a 939)! :D ;)

lucky bastard. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

:toast: Well, I am glad to see the prices coming down. :roll: I paid $180 for my opteron 170 and I am still content with it. :D With prices like that when I am ready to upgrade next year, things will be looking good.

Joe

They only dropped it 10$?

HelveticaAre these socket 939?

I think they're for socket AM2. Because socket 939, the highest is 4200 and is currently at $70.

Please don't Put 4200 and $70 in the same sentence, it makes me wana :cry:

AphexDreamerPlease don't Put 4200 and $70 in the same sentence, it makes me wana :cry:

:laugh: I know, bud. I paid my 5200 for $150 @ Amazon.com less than 6 months ago. I upgraded it from 4200 AM2 which I got $110 from Newegg.com. I wanna :cry: too!!

You all suck. I paid $600 for my 4400+.

Does this mean the 5000+ Black edition will drop in price? I might have to build a budget AM2 rig just to play with (replace this overpriced pile of crap 4400+...basically)

Are the black editions taking a cut too? ::prays::

I hope so, I have my eye on the 5000+ BE, so I can get my OC on, for once.

The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ currently costs $119, and will soon cost $109USD.

The Athlon 64 X2 5200+ currently costs $124, and will soon cost $119USD

The Athlon 64 X2 5600+ currently costs $149, and will soon cost $139USD.

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

good lord you call that "AMD will be slashing prices"


lol $10 off! thats it! c'mon now this is nothing that qualifies to be called "slashing prices"
