Things are going crazy in the X2 market, and I thought we should try to keep track. These are going to be superb upgrades (well at least the 939's) for anyone not quite ready to jump to Conroe:

Currently (I'm ignoring whether a processor is OEM or retail):

AM2:

Specialtech : £221.35 (although not clear if this is dual or single core ?!)

Scan : £111.50

OCUK : £111.57

Ebuyer : Aparently none stocked ?

Dabs : £198.39

Microdirect : £209.98

XTSit : £164.09

939:

Specialtech : £220

Scan : £195.74

OCUK : £152.69

Ebuyer : £139.98

Dabs : £143.38

Microdirect : £191.51

XTSit : £154.65

It's also nice to see the bottom's dropped out of the Fleabay prices too (unless you're trying to sell of course ;))

Anyone else got any others, or better prices ? I think we should keep this thread live for the next few weeks :D

PS. There's a guy on the OCUK forums reckons he's seen a price of £123 on a 939 X2 3800+... Not sure where that is though, and obviously the way OCUK are, they're never going to allow that to get out on their forums !
 
Wait until conroe is released, rumous has it that AMD will lower prices even further and you will be able to pick up a 3800 for around £80 :eek:
 
you guys should have someone in america buy it 4 you and have them ship it over. its a lot cheaper here since the pound is about double to the dollar.

zipzoomfly.com = x2 3800- $297 which is about £150
 
The US prices have come down even further than that - Monarch are offering at $149, but only in bundles at the moment :D
 
Since when was 150 + shipping from the states a better deal than 111 shipped within your own country probably for free? lol
 
If we bring things in from america we have to postage-smuggle them through customs. If they thing gets caught out then we have to pay VAT.

Im just working on something now that might get our cpu prices down. If people are "SERIOUSLY" intersted in some chips and want to purcahse then let me know and i can get stuff over from a supplier ;-)

Price drops on AMD stuff are due but you got to remember that there are still a lot of suppliers out there with stock sitting about so it might not be an immediate effect price wise
 
i think im more interesting in a conroe now. specialtech, im building a new rig, could u get me some nice prices? :D im buying everying apart from a case
 
Price cuts today ! Woohoo ! :D

Okay, as a heads up, the table now looks like this...

AM2:

Specialtech : £211.82

Scan : £111.50

OCUK : £111.57

Ebuyer : Aparently none stocked ?

Dabs : £198.39

Microdirect : £109.56

XTSit : £164.09

939:

Specialtech : £216.72

Scan : £117.37

OCUK : £117.34

Ebuyer : £138.68

Dabs : £143.38

Microdirect : £187.99

XTSit : £154.65

Scan and OCUK taking the lead right now. Scan are pre-ordering though, while OCUK claim to have stock in. Specialtech - you'd have to have something pretty 'special' to compete with this! It'll be interesting to see if Scan do anything with their Today Only today as well...
