!!! Aaargh, think I have made a massive mistake!!!

[Gandalf501]

Would you buy a AMD 64 3500+ sckt 939, brand new, boxed, for £31 inc delivery?

I did.

Only just noticed its got the Newcastle core?

Have I made a massive error?

I have a 2600+ at the moment.

 

[Gandalf501]

I was going to buy a 939 mobo anyway. My current is a Sckt A, (Abit NF7)

I will be flogging my 2600+ and mobo. (Any ideas, or is it just worth scrapping)

I just made an impulse buy. I saw the price, and thought it was a mistake... Until I realised the core...

 

[Gandalf501]

Thanks peeps. It was one of those moments of impulse. One minute your looking, the next its on its way... Didnt even check the details...

Was going to buy a 3700+ san diego...

Well, thats an extra £70 saved. Perhaps an x1800gt instead of a x1800gto???

 

[Gandalf501]

True. It should work, its new, retail box! Always get refund if it doesnt.

I think it was the price that made me just buy it there and then. I wasnt building the new machine until september! I have been reading about the Newcastle core, and its not that bad.

No SSE3, but it will run adobe premier (at last....)

Erm, yeah. X1800xt. GT's are nVidia arnt they...
