That's the reason I have just gone to Intel Core 2 Duo e6600/DFI Infinity 975X/G. We don't have Newegg here in the UK & after trying 3 Opteron 165 trying to get a 3GHZ one the price of decent steppers went from £80.00 to £160.00+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldor Report post Posted February 1, 2007 Wow, That sucks. They must be getting low. The Opty 165 and 185 are still priced reasonable at Tiger Direct. Only 350 for the 185 and 160 for the 165. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEnumber337 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 That price jump is crazy. I'm glad I got mine when I did a little over a month ago and I got a good stepping too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitfit1 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 no more opty 165 from newegg, this sucks. To be honest likewhoa, most Opty's have been as rare as rocking horse **** for a long time now in the uk. In the USA you have been lucky with the egg having so many, and good steppings at that. Got an itchy feeling on my foot, could it be calling me to the "Dark side"?

kitfit1 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 lol, i'm waiting to see what AMD brings to the door this year, i know they will not dissapoint us. don't go to the darkside I am as well really, i hav'nt had this rig long enough to justify changing again. It's just bloody annoying not having a worthwhile AMD upgrade path at the moment. Oh well, just have to wait for AM3 and DDR3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMD Fanatic Report post Posted February 1, 2007 In no way will this force me to consider AM2. Sadly, the fanatic would go C2D before going AM2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laserred Report post Posted February 1, 2007 Must be something else going on.... the 180 is $646, the 185 is still $335..... I'd take 2 185s for the cost of a 180... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
