Title: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Sky on May 23, 2006, 01:59:54 PM http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2223965
Seems like a good deal if you're in the market for a new pc and need the bleeding edge. Sale is on until 5/27. Other stores are ranging from $986-1200... Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: schild on May 23, 2006, 02:01:38 PM That's just a processor though. Are there still people that pay $800 for a processor? I mean really. Jesus. My whole computer didn't cost $800 and I bought it 4 years ago. It has run everything I've put in it.

Interesting OC article @ THG - P4EE performance from a $130 proc (http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/10/dual_41_ghz_cores/) Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Trippy on May 23, 2006, 05:04:01 PM http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2223965 It's not that good a price:Seems like a good deal if you're in the market for a new pc and need the bleeding edge.

Pretty boss so far, and it was nicely priced about ~2 months ago when I bought it.

Like I said in my post, bleeding edge. I didn't say it was worth it. Next time I won't point out a $200-400 savings on a pc part, sheesh. Where does it say it's a socket AM2 CPU? AM2 is 940 pins (page says 939 pin), DDR2 (page says DDR).Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Righ on May 24, 2006, 11:28:48 AM Part number is same as the part Trippy linked. Also, wouldn't the FX60 dual-core be the bleeding edge now? :-P
Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Sky on May 24, 2006, 11:42:54 AM Hah. They changed it. Yesterday when I posted that it was the AM2 FX-60, not the s939 FX-55.
Bet there was a d'oh moment at the Shack HQ! Edit: Link originally taken from Anand's pad (http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2762). His link is bad now, too. Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Righ on May 24, 2006, 11:53:58 AM Interestingly, while the article is discussing socket AM2 processors, the "prices" advert insert is for socket 939 FX-60 processors (and the Radio Shack one is a bogus link to a single core FX-55). The AM2 part is called an FX-62, or so the article says.
Title: Re: AM2 FX-60 for $810 Post by: Jimbo on May 25, 2006, 05:53:38 AM I had bought the FX-55 from Newegg back in Feb of this year, and got a free ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboard. Right now they have some specials with the motherboard for ram, dvd recorders, and power supply. The FX-55 is going for $640 right now (as it was $811 when I bought it with the free motherboard) and you get a free T-shirt yah!
