KimTjik Posted February 2, 2007 I haven't seen any price jump here yet. I'll check it tomorrow, because maybe the market is slower here to react. Very few have them in stock, but they still offer the 165 for about 170 - 190 $ and report that they will be available the next week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Final8ty Posted February 2, 2007 I agree! People who have a 939 system who don't have a dualcore cpu should get one now while they can & clock stable as much as they can until AM3 gets here as im not moving until that at the earliest. The Optys are still priced ok here in the UK, infact the price has dropped. Got my Opty185 yesterday for £207 when just a month before from the same place it was £270. And as you can see from my sig its a cracker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red930 Posted February 2, 2007 Whats so good about an Opty? They overclock much better on average than an A64-branded chip. Purportedly because of the silicon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
