All places tend to price gouge when new stuff hits the shop :roll:

Another mobos arrives!!!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128323

Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

$269.99

BTW I'm compiling a master list of all available Core 2 Duo mobos and CPUs...

lordT · Tue Jul 18, 2006 3:25 pm

270$ for a fricking mobo is scandalous. I think I'll wait till the prices come down. :-?

I would wait on the mother board until Asus gets its Nvidia 590 SLI board out for the new Core 2 Duo's.

Or at least until someone gets an Intel Nvidia 590 SLi board on the market.

Newegg has two abit 965 boards in stock now (as I post...maybe not in a few hours heh) and they're a lot cheaper.

AB9
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813127005

AB9 Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813127004

The Pro (ICH8R) one is only a few dollars more, clearly a better buy.

I'm thinking of getting a cheap 805 and building a C2-ready system now. I don't mind fleabaying it for as low as $50 or so in a month or two, especially if I figure out the overclock potential for them

7950 makes me not really care about two x16/x8 slots for the moment. By the time I care, the $100 saved now will go towards a new board later

945/955/975 C2 support is very hit or miss, with many boards the revision determines it and so many online vendors can't or won't tell you before they ship. Even intels flagship reference 975x board needs a very new revision - that says a lot (304 and only spotty avail at a few places since ~june)

I'm thinking of buying the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Socket T from Newegg.com for $149.99, what do you guys think?

Looks nice. Out of stock though :-?

Bauxite · Fri Jul 21, 2006 9:29 am

If you just want 965 and C2D support now as cheap w/o (much?) overclocking here you go:

$140 Intel BOXDP965LTCK Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813121035

Only ICH8, however I doubt it will be a lot more if they have a ICH8R coming out soon.

Bauxite · Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:04 am

ZZF has the DFI 975x in stock for $190, C2D support listed on DFI site. No frills but its not a lot more than the 965 boards.
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... ode=246514

It was in the anand roundup but clearly its street price is not "$249" just 2 days later heh
http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2797&p=9

They also have the Asus P5W DH in stock, newegg doesn't at the moment.
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... ode=247085

It sure is loaded with stuff, depends what you would actually use though. Only 3 sata ports from the ICH7R is slightly annoying; spreading a 1+0 array on two controllers seems like asking for trouble and 4 or 5-drive R5 is much more economical than 3-drive...

I have not shopped with them before so I cannot give a feel for their turnaround times or if they **** on availability, though they seem fairly large.

Fri Jul 21, 2006 1:51 pm

Moved to System builder forum. C2Ds are here until they become threads about where to buy, what to buy, and what to buy with it.

NeRve · Fri Jul 21, 2006 8:29 pm

Thanks Bauxite - added to list.

Hance · Fri Jul 21, 2006 8:54 pm

I am going to stick this for the time being . Nice work NeRve

NeRve · Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:16 pm

Added more Mobos from ZipZoomFly....

Bauxite · Sat Jul 22, 2006 12:41 am

Another 965/ICH8 available now

$170 ASUS P5B Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131030

This stuff is burning a hole in my mind...so tempted to grab a 805 and everything else for now and be ready for instant drop-in.

Bauxite · Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:08 am

Intel BOXD975XBXLKR Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813121016
$260

NOTE: I'm not sure if this is the 304 revision, but it has been out of stock for over a week until now and they added "Intel Core2 Extreme/Core2 Duo" to the CPU type...

Hmm, if I wanted it right now, I'd risk it, but I have a 5 year customer record of many newegg purchases through work to threaten them with if they didn't do a refund. YMMV

NeRve · Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:00 pm

Updated with Intel® Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor 1.86GHz

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... Code=80858

$199.00 - Free Shipping

As from Anandtech.com Reviews, this CPU OCs like a mother... Even better than the FX-62!!!!

All are backordered now.

Bauxite · Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:00 pm

I hate to be negative, but I wonder if it was ever in stock to begin with...even something unintentional, like the default status for new items entered in their backend system is 'available' and someone forgot to change one.

Even intel made sure to tell us those are coming out after 66/67/6800s.

Well I'll find out tomorrow, my card was charged though.

Updated Chart with More CPUs, also Noted Out of Stock/Dead links... These prices have also been updated - some of them jacked-up unfortunately...
