But, in my country not OEM tray (box as usual with vision logo)
$95 and not BE :up:
Only downside is the 550 C3 has a locked multi :(
Im still looking into that..Quote:

The link @ the egg is for a 550 Tray (C3)Per AMD its supose to be BlackEdtion C3 with no Cooler..They do not make any more C2 550's only C3 steppings now...
a Tray CPU is Not a Purple PIB in a BoX Box.
Also 555 is not the same as the 550 BE It has a 100mhz set higher Multi.
Also 955 went from C2/C3... Its still a BE not locked..
@ AMD shows the OEM Tray as a Black Edition...So i presume that means Still unlocked....
Any one else Know about 550's being Locked with C3 stepping ..
Dosnt make sense to Lock the 550 due to new stepping . If a C2 fails and they send a C3 550 ,,then your saying it would be locked ...then people will get mad..see where im going...Lol
Please
Can anyone else confirm this..,,,
from what
AMD shows Unlocked Tray OEM Black Edtion...
If Unlocked still ill get another 550 C3..If not then the 555 wins
It be nice to compare C3 550 to my 4100mhz C2:D
550 is locked now.
Ah that Suc_Ks lol... I guess itll be a 555 this week or next...Quote:

The box is actually a dead giveaway.Quote:

It's actually not a bad thing as if you have a good mobo you can probably smack around a few unlocked c2 chips on ln2 :D which imo is more skill than luck as it requires more than just upping a multi.
It's how it's always worked. 940 BE, new refresh 940 locked new BE flagship.Quote:

Ill se how prices fair in the next week or two then bite on 555.
Note: They may be gone now..
Fry's had 550 BE C2 @ $68bucks over the weekend wow ....the 555 is really pushing the old 550 prices low.
There site had listing for 555 or 550 ..now none ...bummer.
Im in no rush...Its nice to see that there are some good deals going around on PHII X2(C2/C3 for unlockers.
Can't wait to see what ur loop can do w a c3 :) hope u can get at least another 100mhz over ur crazy c2
Is that stable?Quote:

Hey BeepBeep,,
Either way ( 555) you still get a great overclocker ,,
for $100:D
Your Mobo is perfect for it too:up:...
After Pizza and Beer and Buying More$$$Parts ( like 42" Shocks)and other Fun Stuff for my DesertTruck lately. Im holding out a little longer before i bite on more PC goodies:D...
LOL It would just be kindof dissapointing if the 555 (s) couldnt unlock though, I'd lose half my cores! :ROTF:Quote:
