I have seen lots of AMD CPUs and boards....Sri Computers particularly.....They have A64 4000+ and some of the X2s from 3600+ to 4800+ i think....and those BE models...The BE 4400 is about 11k i think.........

Is it the one with the BRISBANE core...? 2.3GHz...
My cousin aus bought one for AUS$ 80....about two months back...

 

[chanster]

2.1Ghz....my friend bought one 1MB cache

 

[lahirumam]

2.1Ghz....my friend bought one 1MB cache

Cache is 512x2 all right...
Then it must be a different CPU...
4800 costs abt $15 more according to him...

EDIT: that might be the 4000+ right...?
I was talking abt the 4400+ Sorry for the confusion

the x2 5000+ BE was quite an impressive processor though! Some people claimed to have reached 3.4GHz!

Can make a good budget system!

Yes correct.....don't know about the cost of the 4800 though ask zCexVe.....

Yep...
A guy in our class claims he's ordered a E8400 from Dubai...
He'll be getting it in mid April...can't wait...

 

[zCexVe]

Ohh cool!....whats the cooler you ordered?

Xigmatek HDT 1283.BTW I've sen loads of Gigabyte S-series AM2 mobos and some AM2 CPUs.But you cant trust with em,you know.If a mobo fails who knows if they will have parts for warranty? Thats the good with Intel here.Loads of 2nd hand mobos and CPUs.

 

[zCexVe]

Yep...
