[B]E4300 = cheap cheap, with combo deal only $120

When did Fry's sell the BOX E4300 with a cheap ECS board combo for $120? The cheapest I remembered is ~$150 with a tray CPU.

im assuming hes calculating the cost without the motherboard's value

When did Fry's sell the BOX E4300 with a cheap ECS board combo for $120? The cheapest I remembered is ~$150 with a tray CPU.And this is the retail version which was for $159 on the 2/23. (http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=134972) Maybe Denny factored out what he sold the mobo for? I don't see a 4300 deal in my local Frys ad today.

Denny, what is the story on the Dual SuperPi scores? The ones done at 3.6ghz are faster than the ones at 3.82ghz? Memory speed not 1:1 on the 3.82ghz run?

FSB wall at >420+ seems like a pretty good deal since you have the 9 multi. That should give you more speed than your average e6400 which is slightly more expensive.

well one is boot at 400 and one is boot with 424 you know XD
if using Clockget to pull, can't do over 405......

if check the invoice, it clear show CPU 120 lol but yes that is combo at 159 back to last week. i got 2 CPU and 2 mobos. save mobo for low end PC for my bro with cheap celeron D 3xx.... kids doesn't need a good PC lol
i didn't do 1:1 why? sorry i don't check the 1:1 story man....

[Gautam]

Got me impressed, perhaps you should try out the 1333 strap. Looks like a pretty competitive CPU, especially for a 4300.

[gundamit]

.... kids doesn't need a good PC lolSomeone call Child Protective Services. :D Lol.

I wonder how many people try to take back the motherboard part of the combo deal. I'd settle for a store credit. :cool:

[BlueAqua]

Looks like a bargain. I wish I had a Fry's around me, I hate driving to Atlanta just to go to the store.

Seems like a lot of these have the FSB wall. You should have been able to go over 4ghz under phase like you said if it wasn't for this obstacle. Oh well, not bad for cheap.
