sorry but you can buy a third and secend class here but first class mbos you have to order
from other country
but becose our tax is high the cost of pc equipment is high
new mbos and cpus is so high that only rich peoples can buy it

Roughly $1.00USD = $1.15CAD so it isn't that bad right now.

I forgot about the CDN to USD conversion. Thx werty316!

werty316 · February 28th, 2006, 08:25 PM

Yeah I wonder if the CAD will ever as good as the USD. If it does too bad Newegg does ship to us.

My 754 is runing great and it is good to know that AMD is still supporting this socket and continue to release cpu for it

Wow, this is a somewhat surprising move by AMD to release a new cpu for dead/dying socket... You would think that they would be concentrating on s939 and beyond.

It is a try not to lose their low price market. It is absurd to buy s754 Motherboard and Athlon64 with 64bit DDR controller, when for a few more dollars you can buy s939 with 128bit (dual ch 64bit) DDR controller.
They expect to become unpopular after this summer. AM2 brings nothing new, only the expencive high latency DDR2, which extreme models (>800MHZ; <CL4) can only give less than 5% of performance boost than s939 K8s. On the other side Conroe promises very much(65nm, FSB1333+, SSE4, shared 4MB L2, boosted FPU, Intel Virtualization, La Grande Technology, etc.), when we compare its mobile ancestor Yonah with Athlon FX-60.
