  • CPU prices

    So now we have the Athlon XP, and AMD have stated the TB will be around until Feb, what way are prices going to go and when?
    If anything TB prices have gone up a little in the last two weeks!

    Any ideas? Maybe this should be in Crystal Ball

      The latest rumor is an XP price drop on the 29th.

        Thanks Wombat.
        I presume this will drive down some of the TB prices too?

        My wife's car blew a head gasket yesterday, so I hope there's some money left at the end of the month

        The garage the recovery people took it to wanted £350, but my local garage thinks it will be only (ONLY?) about £100 ie the price of a TB1.4 I wonder if she'll walk the nine miles to work

            Keep in mind that the XP's are in new packaging, and are apparantly a royal bitch to try to connect the bridges.
