Is $105 a good price for a Dual Core CPU?

I normally go newegg, never had any issues, but the few times I have use zipzoomfly everything has been great, and yes normally they are a few dollars more then newegg for lots of things but they offer free shipping a ton, so you end up saving money.

And I could configure a server one my own, so, or get free help from here.

Newegg the King of Online computer stores. lol, newegg rocks. Especially there 1 year RMA policy, I have had a 7800gt from there for like 9 months and its going down, but I can still rma it there.

Dealing with newegg is relatively new here. But mwave always shipped out everything in one or two packages while seeing a possible one day gap there. Newegg has one thing come in on tuesday, another thursday, and third on saturday... where you end up scratching your head. They have some good prices for individual items. Some are also supposed to have free shipping there as well as what is seen at zipzoomfly.

Well normally newegg ships out on different days because they have werehouses all over the US. Like for me the packages from california have never taken more then 2 days to get to me. But like the ones from New jersey will take like 4, but thats understandable because one is less then a days trip from me and the other is clear accross the country.

Ok they are the same, still not saving any money and newegg ships quickly, but you shop where ever you want.

LOL you really like mwave don't you. Maybe I'll try them out sometime.

PC eye · 08-11-2006, 11:03 PM

Mwave has one thing that zipzoomfly apparently doesn't according to someone who has repeatedly ordered from them. A good return policy. When a friend recently received two dead boards in a row he asked what should he do? Go with a third of the same make+model? I then cautioned that they probably got a bad batch of Asus A8N SLI Premium model boards in. I then recommended either choosing a different model or going with MSI or another brand to get a board. Mwave sent the third different model board out before he could even repack the bad boards for return.

The AMD64 3800+ X2 has run smooth on that board since. He likes the four 120mm fans on NZXT case while following advice to get a different supply. Where mwave stood by him there he was one that got stiffed a few times at zipzoomfly. Mwave is usually lower then TigerDirect where that was one regular vendor there for awhile. Despite even lower prices at newegg the one part here on tuesday and the other two days later with the last on saturday can be a nuisance when you need it all in one day.
