The Venices have gone mad!

[ilovesocks]

So I've recently been helping build two budget computers, both of which were to have the cheapest s939 Venices, and now everything's gone wild.

The 3000+ used to be about $150, and the 3200+ was something like $160, so I suggested the 3200+ for both computers, but then the 3000+ disappeared and the 3200+ jumped to nearly $180. So I did some research, and it appears that the two of them have been discontinued in order to make room for new processors with better stepping.

Today the 3000+ reappeared at newegg for $190! And the 3200+ is still $180. I'm guessing the prices will settle down once demand is met. Just thought I'd get this out there.

psht that's nothing dude, go look for a socket A 3200+ barton core CPU and you'll be seeing prices in excess of $250.......now THATS ridiculous

That is rediculous considering back when 64bit was being thought of i got a CPU-mobo combo for 90$ that included my 2600+ and Shuttle board.

Yea that's just the way supply and demand works.

Anyone know the difference between the two 3200+'s besides one being model ADA3200BPBOX and the other ADA3200CGBOX?

They could be a different core or socket. One might be a Winchester and the other a Venice.
