Big Booger Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 IS THE MX VARIETY AND I HEAR IT IS ABOUT ON THE SAME SPEED AS THE GEFORCE3 TI200, THOUGH I COULD BE MISTAKEN.As for 1200 bucks, are you getting that CPU gold plated? Titanium case? What gives? I think someone is bending you over and reaming you. if this is a complete system go for a pentium4 2.2 or 2.0, 512MB RAM, 80 Gig HDD, DVD + CDRW drive, Floppy, Firewire, GeForce4 Ti 4400, ALuminium case etc... I mean hell, you better really comparison shop. I think I could get the above system for around 1200-1300 dollars easily.Tyan Socket 478Intel 845 chipset Pentium 4 1.5Ghz, 1.7GHz+,1.8Ghz, upto 2.2Ghz, d SDRAM PRICE FOR PHONE ORDERS ONLY, MENTION PRICE WATCH - Retail box Part#S2090 $ 69 Read This 2/13/2002 8:00:07 PM CT Justdeals.com800-971-0525510-441-6490AGI 16X DVD-ROM RETAIL AGI 16X DVD-ROM w/DVD software RETAIL BOX NEW $ 38 15.95 2/13/2002 2:29:08 AM CT BPCLAND.COM866-569-3288909-839-251032x10x40 ; 32x record, 10x rewrite, 40x read 32x10x40 32x10x40 Internal EIDE CD-RW , oem , 1 Year Warranty $ 78 13.95+ 2/13/2002 11:57:39 PM CT House of Computers888-633-2882714-680-3788Samsung 3.5inch 1.44 Floppy Drive 1Yr Warranty MUST MENTION PRICE WATCH - .floppy $ 3 INSURED $12.00 1/28/2002 4:03:47 PM CT Connect Computers949-367-2875-------------------------------------------------------------------- IN STOCK(SOCKET 478) Pentium® 4 2.2GHz (2200MHz) - NORTHWOOD P4 INCLUDES 30 Day Dealer Warranty - 400MHz FSB - 512K - .13 micron - OEM - 2.2 GHz (2200 MHz) $ 473 $7+ Fedex 2/13/2002 4:05:47 AM CT PC XPERTS800-666-7551216-297-1061--------------------------------------------------------------------- ORPentium® 4 2.0GHz Processor 256K 400FSB System Bus Socket 478 CPU Intel P4 2.0 GHz 256K 400MHz FSB Socket 478 OEM (30 Day Dealer Warranty) $ 301 $6+FEDEXinsured 2/12/2002 10:17:34 AM CT PC XPERTS800-666-7551216-297-1061 ------------------------------------------------------------------ NeutronUSA# 146394 64x4-PC133-512MB-Economy PC133 ( PC100) 512MB 168 pins SDRAM-High Density PRICE FOR PHONE ORDER, MUST MENTION PRICE WATCH - NeutronUSA 146394 $ 76 2-3 Day/ Insured $12.95 2/13/2002 5:52:35 AM CT NeutronUSA.com800-813-4218814-237-0902 PA 146394 Ultra Maxtor 80.0GB EIDE ATA/100/133 7200RPM, 6L080J4 3 Year Manufacturer Warranty $ 134 $12 & Up 2/13/2002 7:34:06 PM CT Esystor.com866-968-0033626-968-0033 CA 6L080J4 usTekVideo Cards PRICES FOR ONLINE ORDERS ONLY -ASUS V8440 GeFORCE4 TI 4400 128MB DDR w/DVID out.

XPerties Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 those prices for the CPU are OEM. You do not want a OEM on any CPU. You can play your luck with other hardware but CPU is a big no no.-XPertiesBTW. OEM are also know to be called white boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Ok bump the price up about 100-160 bucks for retail. I have never personally had any problems with OEM, though I know they make retail a bit better based on the fact that is boxed in a nice new wrapper and is aimed at the PC builder/upgrader who demands more, but I think as long as it comes with a warranty, and you want to minimize the cost, go for it.Big Booger But I know where you are coming from.Pentium® 4 2.2GHz Northwood Processor, 400MHz FSB, Socket 478 Manufacturer Part#: BX80532PC2200D In stock!

XPerties Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 OEM warrentys are usually 30 days to 90. Sometimes you might get a year if you buy a special heatsink.Retail comes with 3 years and I believe you can get a additional 4 years from the place you buy it as a extended, but be careful with those extended.-XPertiesBTW...OEM usually dont come with heatsink and if it does its a non-regulated INTEL un-certified heatsink which is another no no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
