holy ., glad i passed on the 175 offer i saw earlier on these boards, not that $232 for a 175 is bad.... but this price is ridculous.... there has to be a catch, this has to be a bad stepping or something.... jeez

 

edit:just saw they are out of stock.... damn!

 

edit again: did a price grabber search and saw that zipzoomfly has them for $170 shipped, ten more bucks, but still a great deal!

Hmm no one appears to have noticed the cuts in the web media that I could find surprisingly. It's largely gone unnoticed. AMD doesn't publish Opteron prices for us mere mortals so no help there. But I'm thinking that maybe AMD is planning to cut the prices soon and some distro just realised they had . loads of excess stock they purchased at the old price and need to clear it ASAP before the real price cuts come. Am I warm?

Well it looks like I was right. Official price cuts are coming soon http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4503 So probably I was right and some distro is offloading old stock before the real price cuts come.

 

I have to admit however that I'm somewhat surprised at these price cuts. They're not as large as I had expected. They're similar to the current new prices. I was thinking the current prices would be still be more then the official price cuts since I had assumed whoever is offloading old stock would be doing so at slightly more then the future official price cuts.
