Those look very good prices, especially when if you already have board that will take am3 cpu, an upgrade becomes alot more attractive.
Wow those prices are very good. Well done Scan
if i was to upgrade now i think the AM3 X3 BE with an reasonable Nforce AM3 compatible board would be the way i would go.
If the actual stock price for the X3 710 stays at £100, I'll definitely be thinking about one as an alternative to a similar clocked dual-core (e.g. 5050e). In fact, all the prices look eminently sensible. As I understand it, though, the DDR3 memory controller on AM3 Phenom IIs will only run 1 DIMM per channel - so I imagine that unless that situation changes in the next 3 - 6 months I'll go with AM2+ and DDR2 for the flexibility...
Only last month I was considering building a new system around the Phenom II 920 (AM2), but I'm glad I waited for the AM3's. The Phenom II X3 720 BE looks like a steal at ~£120!
The price for the Black 720 is brilliant, why pay more for an extra core that nothing makes use of and a cpu that can be overclocked with ease... Bargain
Yup - thinking for my rebuild the X3 720 BE looks like a steal, Probably going to throw it in a new AM2+ Motherboard with DDR2. DDR3 still doesn't justify the price premium.
Exactly what I am thinking. My DDR2 memory will go upto 1200, so don't see the point of DDR3 for now.Originally Posted by darkblueslider
The price of the X4 910 OEM seems a tad high, considering the 920 is £7 cheaper :S
