Another Phenom II listing?

[Lachigan]

I ordered a 940 today at Microbytes for 379. I think the price will go up at first and then slowly settle down to around 285...

If they can put them on the market for under $300 (and again, guessing that they'll at least perform on par with newer non i7 intel quads) they might have a chance at the market. That will be double if they can find some way to put fears of incompatibilities with current AM2+ boards to rest. They lost a lot of ground (probably more the fault of board manufacturers than theirs) when folks had major problems running the higher end quads on boards that were supposed to be AM2+ certified.

Don't get me wrong... I'm rooting for them. If they manage to put out a decent overclocker (I've mentioned elsewhere that I think they should underbin their chips to get the enthusiasts excited... :) ) I will very seriously think of trying out my first new AMD platform since I ditched S939.

I have BIOS 1406 installed on my M3A32-MVP which runs it...

when is the Delivery date from Microbytes Monsieur Lachigan ?

I'd like to see what you can do with it !

The clerk said his supplier had his inventory marked as -29. He said it could be about 2 weeks, but I won't be getting impatient until the first week in January...

I'll be waiting for the AM3 benchmarks... wait, no I won't. I'll be pre-ordering an AM3 w/ a motherboard (still nothing announced tho ) and some DDR3... then I'll post some benchies for y'all. hehe.

That's very interesting. Fudzilla claims the AM3 Phenoms will be around 10% faster using ddr3 of coarse. That would put them neck in neck with Nehalem.

Proof is in the pudding though, so until that time.....

I'll let you know when I can, lol.

Don't trust laurier computers, nor should you respect their price. They're a little shady if you ask me. Bought my P5Q-E from them but the CPU prices at the time were through the roof!

Found the article: Fudzilla - DDR3 Phenom will speed up 5 percent

Looks like I was wrong about the 10% though, more like 5% claimed.
