Jozef - RE: "I don't see any movement in price on Pricewatch that we usually see prior to a price drop. I actually am interested, because I am about to buy 2 Athlon CPUs. I was going to do it this week, but if it looks like I can save $300+ on each, I will probably wait a week." Some website I saw yesterday was advertising bundles with the new prices. Don't you like that you are invested in AMD? You are just reading up on news about the company and will potentially save $600 without any effort. ;) I was previously hyped up to get a 1GHz t-bird, but I have decided that I am gonna wait for Mustang/760/DDR to spend the big bucks. But that probably won't be available to us until October/November. I ordered a Duron combo today because I need the computer before the end of the month.

Joe, Re: . I was going to do it this week, but if it looks like I can save $300+ on each, I will probably wait a week. Now is that any kind of attitude for a stockholder to have? How is AMD to ever get ahead? <grin> You sound a bit like me to tell you the truth, I can understand what you're saying. Was it you the asked me to report back on my Asus A7V/Athlon 700 experience? I got the board last Friday and got it put together Friday night before I went home from work. Now there was just too much fun sitting inside that case to leave it at work all weekend, so I took it home with me. Sunday night at midnight I get a chance to fool around with the overclocking dip switches, which work as advertised. My 700 would run stable at 750, 800, and 825 MHz but not 850. I've got the memory timings set too tight I think. At 700MHz the processor runs at 104 degrees F, at 825 MHz it was at 111 degrees F. At 1:00 am I went to bed. A7V is a good board, it takes more time to set up than the MSI 6330, but it has all those goodies to fool around with. It's very stable at 700MHz-825MHz and I think its producing better SoftSandra 2000 scores than the MSI, but not sure I remember the MSI numbers. Have to spend more time comparing them. For ease of assembly and high stability and lower price, the MSI is my favorite. For lots of "tinkerin" fun and high stability the Asus wins hands down. Both boards are very nice and both of course use VIA's KT133. Neither board had troubles with Matrox G400 Max AGP video card, and the Asus had no trouble with the Diamond MX300 vortex 2 sound card (the MSIs used onboard sound). BTW, the Socket A Athlon 700 MHz was from Austin (green, not blue) and has a "700" core.n I wonder what that first MSI I built has in it? It would overclock via the FSB to 850. Hmmmm.....I may have to swap around here...oh well, there goes more time <hehe>! Kindest regards, CrazyMan
