Just picked up one myself! Newegg is still near $500 on these!

[MagnetMan]

wow, great deal! Just got myself a 939 from them, to bad I missed this :(

[XXX-OWNEDBYME-XXX]

great deal might get it but wats a good motherboard for under 150 bux for this?

[Will013]

take a look at their motherboard selections..pretty good choices..
k8v and k8v-se deluxe are good..the abit version is suppose to be good as well

[Will013]

I just thought about this...Monarch offers the OEM version of this for $346..They will give a 3 year warranty thru them for $15 more bringing total to $361which would save $8 if you already had a heatsink fan or were going to upgrade anyways!! Even a better deal! haha :p :D ;)


EDIT: Ahh it appears they have free shipping on OEM, so $361 shipped for OEM+3 Year thru them..all you need then is a heatsink!

[Okatha]

Oh man, come on Neo2 Platinum! Get available already!

the reason monarch computer has such good reseller ratting is that they are part of newegg (or rather newegg was spunoff from monarch) :)

[Asian Fury]

newegg was spun off from ABS

[palabared]

didnt know that either, i have an abs pc and i had a bad experience with their customer service, never had such problem with newegg.

[XXX-OWNEDBYME-XXX]

will the deals for it go even lower??

Monarch has been in business since 1991. Don't think newegg can say the same :rolleyes: :p ;)

[Roberty]

Monarch is a very good company to do business with. Monarch and NewEgg are the only two that I deal with anymore.

[neisius]

I got 3 computers from them a few years ago. Only had one problem. They sent 1 cpu to run the 3 computers :rolleyes: But they fixed that very quickly.

[JKA Represent]

thanks for the deal!!! That is so freaking sweet!!!

[bort]

I gotta agree, I've been planning to got to S939 for awhile now, but the local stores had atrocious prices on the 3500+. Even with the exchange rate, this comes in at a sweet price. According to the Anandtech price guide, that's a price drop of $138 from their last update. It's too bad they didn't have any good deals on Video Cards. Oh well, can't win em all.

what's the speed on this proc?

Crap. The MSI Neo Platinum 939 has been bumped back to Aug 2nd according to Monarchcomputer. Eh, I think I'm going to go with a 3400 and the 754 Neo now. Especially since the 939 board doesn't have DDR2 or PCI-Express. And I've been waiting much too long to build this computer, have too much hardware that's sitting around doing nothing.

[tnt0303]

2.2 Ghz

[mdaniel]

MUST WAIT! I just cancelled my Monarch order for the 3500 & MSI. I'm going to try and wait until a PCI-Express board comes out, as I hear the Abit board will support this and be out in September.

But this price drop just made it very hard to continue waiting. The way my "clicker" finger is getting, I'll probably only survive until the MSI comes out in August.

As for the $3500, ZipZoomFly has a retail for $367 w/ free second day shipping.

[jackbauer]

get the asus a8v wifi.

[zoobaby]

Newegg now has it at $365 w/ free fedex super saver shipping.

Retail version, $364 with free 2nd day shipping.

Im confused, these are clocked at 2.2ghz w/ a 512 cache. What makes them 3400+, they are the same core as the one I bought today, just 754 vs 939.

:confused:

[sp0ngeb0b]

With a three year warranty on the OEM CPU, you dont need a heatsink! :-P

Socket 939 uses dual channel memory, which AMD thinks accounts for the 100MHz.

Yeah, but reading the review from hardocp, it doesnt really do jack shit in gaming and real life use yet.

look here
http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjI2LDU=

The 3700+ is on 754 and it is still kicking ass but the 3500+ and the 3800+ are on 939. In fact sometimes it leads.

I just bought a 3000+ and plan to overclock it like a mofo. The 1mb cache only gives a 5-7 percent increase anyway.

[berzerker]

Yeah, but reading the review from hardocp, it doesnt really do jack shit in gaming and real life use yet.

One of AnandTech's recent articles on 939 suggested dual channel memory and other improvements in the platform improve the A64's relative performance in video encoding, which is a "real life" application some people do use.

when will some of the "futureistic mobos come out?

[jackbauer]

hey just want to post a update on this cpu...


http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-463&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE

365 shipped. i have had this cpuin my cart for a few weeks now and i just noticed the price drop liek 175 bucks in one day. just thought i would pass it on..

[ToyYoda03]

AMD Is phasing out XP and the 754 will be the new budjet series (atleast that is what I have read)

[QHalo]

Hrmph, I thought 939 was the next step and upgrade path for AMD's future product line. Show's how much I know :p

[KarmaPolice]

I was also going to wait for the PCI-E and DDR2 and all but really..when you look at it...If you wait till it comes out offically your going to be paying a lot for tech that is brand new. Its going to take a long time for this stuff to be seen everywhere. PCI-E is going to need PCI-E cards which arnt made yet except for a few video cards. I just ordered my GT and so now i have set the time table..i must finish my shopping or the GT is just sitting around losing value as we speak lol

[unreal]

i dont think im goona upgrade vid yet since nothing really takes advanctage of it, or wait for pci-e since it would require more money, yeah im glad the price dropped,,,,, was about to get a 3000 , now not sure hehe

[maxxo]

current price at newegg is 352.63$ w/ free shipping.

[XXX-OWNEDBYME-XXX]

oh god , when will the fx's drop in price, when!

[KarmaPolice]

NEVER lol

[jackbauer]

well that is why i am planning on getting this deal. a 3500+ 939 and a asus A8V. that way, when the FX53, 55, 57, 59? come out, i can upgrade just the cpu and not the mobo. that is the difference

[XXX-OWNEDBYME-XXX]

ya but wat if that mobo will suck in a yaer?

[lorcani]

ya but wat if that mobo will suck in a yaer? Wait, what?

If the motherboard works for the 939 chips now, it should work for them all. The motherboard should be fine, especially the Asus A8V.
