found a 3800+ venice in toronto in chinatown it was a 3800+ so I didn't want it.
what city is that chinatown in? i might get the 3800+ :).
EDIT: oops my bad, didn't read carefully. guess i got excited when i saw the available word :). hehe
Well I just contacted AMD since none of my distributors have any.
I am currently asking for 30:
Venice Core.
ADA3200DAA4BP
ADA3500DAA4BP
ADA3800DAA4BP
(Maybe even some San Diego Cores.)
They're going to check availability and let me know tomorrow. (I asked them late today) If they don't sell me any they'll at least tell me exactly when to expect them. I should have an answer by tomorrow (Tuesday). Don't get your hopes up but what is everyone going to buy, a 3200+ or a 3500+?
David
EDIT: IF I do this it will be an XS exclusive, only members who have been on for at least a month or two (With the Mods and owner's approval of course, or else no.). Like I said Don't get your hopes up! If they say No then I'll let them know how hot these chips are. It appears that the AMD sales reps don't know because to them its just another stepping. ???? We'll see...
Please put me in for a 3200+ model please :). please msg me if you get them. Thank you much.
3000+ or maybe 3200+.
Vandi423 I did PM you a few days ago ,please reply if you can.
Forget this place people...Showed the part available in "limited quanities" called them, was told the same thing, in stock, limited quantity, available for order...ordered the part, 10 minutes later I get an email saying:Quote:

Consider yourselves let known immediately dear Best Selections Unlimited :slapass:
When I called them back to confirm order cancellation it went to an answering machine...not a voice-mail box...an answering machine...this is just some guy trying to run a business out of his basement - just some tool trying to re-sell another companies products for them and cut himself a couple bucks as the middle-man...now if he actually knew what was/was not in stock and didn't tell people things were available when they weren't that'd be fine, but this obviously isnt a real business so F'it...was willing to take a chance trying to order this ahead of mass availability, no cheese

Vandi423, I'd be interested in a 3000+ if you're able to get ahold of some. Thanks for making an effort for us XS guys.
Look at my sig, it's missing something.
You need to order in lots of 1000 for them to sell it to you. Organize a list of 1000 users that want these chips and have a mod take the money and deal with amd.

what i would like to know is how much are you going to charge us if you can get some? I hope not too much :). again, i would like a Venice 3200+ model please :). man if you can get some and sell these puppies, you'll be called the merchant of venice, just like the movie :).
EDIT: check this out folks. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merch...ory_Code=AMD64
this is interesting as it says ETA, TBA. I know it says 754, but the manufacturer part number just says ADA3200BOX. My either is that monarch is lazy or not know the part number for Venice which should be ADA3200BPBOX or something similar. Also this is interesting "Ship dates may change. Please check back here for most current ETA date.". Any thoughts on this?
Read the specs at the bottom of the page.Quote:

There are any number of people who would vouch for me, including people I have sent stuff to and received stuff from.
Knowin that, I would like to get in on this for a 3500+ if at all possible.
As for the Best Selections place, when I placed the order I wrote in the comments section:
A short time after that, I received an email back:Quote:
If you do not have any of this item immediately in stock, please go ahead and cancel my order. I do not wish to wait for this item on backorder. Thank you very much!
So I guess that's that, case closed. And still no Venice at my door... :(Quote:
As per your request we cancelled your PO# 1235 (see below). The product is not in stock.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Well I got ~300 max in paypal w/ venice written on it so the max I can get for about that. Let me know - assuming 3200-3500 (NOT 3000), might go for 3800 if its close (yeah right)Quote:

On Positive note: thanks for doing the 'legwork' here.
us enthusiasts might not make a difference in AMD's annual report, but at least we're passionate about anything AMD puts out :). I think AMD is too busy trying to woo dell and the big businesses out there to care about us consumers. I think we're the reason the name AMD is so popular nowaday. I'm a new member to this forum, but please don't count me out for a Venice 3200+ please. Thank you very much.
David,
I hope you can get AMD to send you some cpus. btw, how are you going to pay for the bulk?
Just dropping in another status report - www.needthese.com is projecting 2 weeks before availability of Venice core CPU's per their sales rep
that's all for now
Edit - if we're getting any exclusive on Venice chips Vandi423 I'd put my vote in on a 3500+ (planning to run VX for 260-270 at 2-2-2's instead of TCCD higher at cas 2.5 or 3, 11x is the lowest multi I'd prefer)
wow another thread says AMD distributors will ship the Venice and San Diego this friday the 15th :). looks like next week is when we should see Venice on monarch or newegg. hope distributors will ship these express to etailers.

Well its all on AMD now. If they tell me that I have to wait until their distributors get them, then I will let them know about you guys and tell them how important it is to stay loyal to their customers. If they are waiting to clear inventory then it would be nice of them to let a few out for their TRUE FANS! I will make it clear that the chips are not for me but for you! (I don't even own a 939 board. :) All I have are 940 Opterons and a couple of 754s.)
If I can get them then don't worry about prices because I will keep them as close to the wholesale price as possible. No bidding will take place and I will most certainly NOT price gouge you. But it is way too early to start making plans.
I'll keep you posted...
Thanks for all you help David. I hope AMD will help us loyal followers out too :). my dfi lanparty sli-d is waiting eagerly for the Venice :). I don't mind paying a few bucks extra for your trouble :). btw, check this site out
