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

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.

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.

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

lucky bastard. :banghead:

ManofGod · Oct 3, 2007

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.

With prices like that when I am ready to upgrade next year, things will be looking good.

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

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!!

breakfromyou · Oct 3, 2007

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)

WarEagleAU · Oct 3, 2007

Are the black editions taking a cut too? :

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