I was going over some of my old Newegg invoices last night, and I was
reminded of how many of the XP1700s I bought from Newegg in 2003 - 23 of
them, to be exact. Has there EVER been a better value in cpu's? I was
getting them for $41, shipped! I overclocked virtually every one of them -
with the clients' approval, of course - and I'm happy to say that I haven't
had a single warranty issue. They are all still out there running like
crazy. That was the most flexible cpu I've ever worked with. Some of them
seemed to oc indefinately. What a great time that was for building fast
machines for very little money.
I was also reminded of the ECS K7S5A/Pro mobos I was getting for about $40,
shipped, and oc'ing using the cheepoman bios. I could hit 2ghz+ a year and
a half ago for $80!!!
