Tempting stuff. I had known about this a week and a half earliar I might of opted for it instead of upgrading second machine.....then again its only an oem version and if you don't get an AMD FX sticker with it to put on your rig then whats the point

AFAIK newegg don't ship internationally, which is a pity as they've some good deals.

Thats why i use an international shipper to get it for me, as for the sticker, feck that, i dont have a sticker for my fx, its a good bit extra for the retail version

That's a great price. If I had the money i'd be tempted myself.

sigh ..me too but i really cant..gotta save up for a new vid card now...its holding me back

gline

yeh i wish i had d money aswell, that would fit snugly in my 2nd hand vapochill case, prob get it to 3ghz and beyond with a volt mod, if any1 has the money to buy one of these they definitly should, the FX is a KICKASS chip, i can vouch for that. Overclocks Beautifully and runs like lightning

how much extra for shipping

gline

It depends on how you are going to ship it in, the guy i use is very cheap and he puts a lower value on it so that i dont pay any import tax . If something is worth less than $200 import is free. Shipping for that should only be up to $20 insured shipping, as it is very light and it goes by weight

Hmmm have a brother inlaw in LA and he always said that if i find a bargain give him a shout and he will get it delivered to him and then post it too me.....how do i justify over 400euro to missus.....hmmmm honey it only cost 100euro "promise"...great deal all the same

hope you dont mind me asking what fella do you use gline for shipping

I think that fact has already been established Snoop, that's why they are talking about having somebody already in the USA getting it on their behalf and then posting it on to Ireland.

No offence but i would go with a socket 939 mabye a 3500+ for $249 ish. Its pretty cheap and leaves alot of room from upgading and overclockingl Socket 940 is dead thats why there flogging the fx chips........

I wouldnt buy into it, wait a little bit............................

Snoop is not the quickest off the mark in fairness, as can be seen from the For Sale board. Don't slag him off - I can't think of a more deserving candidate to "recieve" an X800...*





*I can think of several, some of them war criminals.

I think i'll take the cpu, hahahaha. I use an international shipper. A guy over there, u pay him a 10% fee and he will buy it and ship it over, thats how i got my x800 MONTHS ago, it was also from newegg, socket 940 maybe dea, but it still kicks Asss. You would not be dissapointed if u got it

Prepare for a resurection then as the Dual Core cpu's will use socket 940. However single socket 940 motherboards are gone the way of the caveman for desktop use. Optrons still use them though

gline

Well i have no problemo with my Socket 940 Its S**t quick mate. well it would be at 2.75, heheheh

Recently customs have tightened up importing from the US.

If it's over something like €30 you pay tax, plus customs, and they are taking pains to verify what exactly things coming in are worth.

That 455 could easily become €600 + shipping

gline

since when man?? i had stuff shipped in a few weeks ago worth over €100 and it came through no bother, where did u hear this, i think the guy i use would have told me.

U mite wana check that
