Chump Posted February 1, 2007 Just browsing Newegg and noticed the Opty 170 I just payed $193 for is going for $289 and the 175 I paid $225 for a month ago is selling for $486 170-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103586 175-- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103584 Crazy stuff!!! 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+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldor 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
likewhoa Posted February 1, 2007 no more opty 165 from newegg, this sucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THEnumber337 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitfit1 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"?

likewhoa 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitfit1 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMD Fanatic Posted February 1, 2007 In no way will this force me to consider AM2. Sadly, the fanatic would go C2D before going AM2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MACarter02 Posted February 1, 2007 I dont know about you guys, but my Opty runs great still SO I'll upgrade in a few years, but for now, Im good. let the prices do what they may. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laserred 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... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
