E8400 rise in price
« on: March 03, 2008, 12:10:16 AM »
Anyone noticed the rise in price of the E8400? I bought mine from Mwave.com when it first arrived for $211. Now it's around $240 on NewEgg. Must be a demand. Of course the AMD prices are dropping like rocks. I looked at NewEgg when I was getting ready to purchase the E8400 and they were sold out. That tells a story.

Demand, for sure.

When I had an AGP motherboard, I really wanted the 7600GT AGP. Only, it was constantly out of stock, and the price was significantly higher than the PCIe version, at the time.


Definitely supply/demand.

If you can afford it, get the:

EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

I have one, and it is just absolutely giving blazing frame rates.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

OEM e8400 is now available a NewEgg for $199.99.  You don't get the heat sink and fan but You can fix that for another $60 which brings it to the NewEgg price of the retail package which is not in stock.  I already plan to use a Zalman 9700 so this is a great deal for me.   Mine's on the way.  :)
