Nemo Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks for the info. Newegg has the Operteron 252 chip for about $869. Should I expect the price to double or triple for the new A64 Dual Core? 467559[/snapback] Monarch Computer is taking pre-orders - shipping starts May 21. Opteron 265 1.8GHz $851 Opteron 270 2.0GHz $1,051 Opteron 275 2.2GHz $1,299 They also have dual core Opteron 8xx chips with shipping starting 4/27.

TheSternMystic Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Intel already released their Dual-Cores. They're a bagillion dollars, but oh well, that's Intel for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martymcfly Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 i think the pentium Ds were distributed only to OEMS as of now.(three OEMs, actually), so they may not be retail for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddy25fb Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 eewwww...dell...yuck...that word leaves a nasty taste in my mouth..to think someone would entrust a high end system to a company like that..and not take the time to build it on their own...

martymcfly Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Dell, Alienware, and some other company were sold the procs. Strangely enough, i did not see anything about htis on the OCC front page... That is kinda wrong. Even though most here prefer AMD, that I think caused people to start believing that AMD had beaten Intel to the punch, which they didn't.
