Good luck
Why wait? It's out at Fry's already...

Anyone know how an 8800GTS stacks up to a 3870 X2? Newegg has a 3870 X2 for $200 after MIR.

hi guys, just checking in from west Seattle .
My uncle gave me a black nintendo DS, and it had YuGiOh in it, so I've spent about 10-15 minutes on that.
How did I ever play that card game...
I don't really have much to say other than that .
I'll be able to check here until thursday, when I leave here for alaska.

So I figured you guys could help me on this one. Does anyone know where I could pick up a different proc for my 939 rig. I really don't want to spend the kind of money to make a whole new rig, but If I could get a new proc that would be perfect.

I was thinking about buying a athlon x2, but gosh, they are so expensive compared to their AM2 counterparts. Is there a reason for this.

So to sum it up short, where/what can I find a replacement for my 3000+ that is better (without breaking the bank).
