Here are the weekend deals for MB/CPU combos at Fry's. This is confirmed for the Houston area, but most will apply in other places as well. Links work from anywhere.
Athlon64 3000+ w/ ECS MB - $130
Athlon64 FX-55 (retail) w/ Asus A8N-SLI - $939
Athlon64 X2 4200 (retail) w/ ECS nForce4-A939 MB - $500
Athlon64 3500+ w/ ECS NF4-A939 - $230 <--Good deal here! (available at outpost.com for $279 )
Athlon64 3200+ w/ Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 (S939) - $300 <--not so good deal here, but you can get it for $270 at outpost.com
Sempron 2800+ w/ PC Chips Socket A Motherboard - $70 <--VERY good deal!
Also, an Athlon64 3200 w/ ECS MB (socket 754) for $170
In addition, there is an even better deal. I DO NOT CONDONE DOING THIS (I don't think it's quite fair to Fry's), but it seems legal. I overheard while standing in line a couple days ago that if you get the combo, the CPU and MB are listed separately on your receipt. The discount goes on the CPU. The person I overheard said that he bought the $70 combo, then returned the motherboard for $50 (in-store credit), netting him a Sempron 2600 or 2800 for $20.
