Anyone pre-order their Venice/Diego yet?

[Fzero]

i seen over on occ you have a FX-53 why not just sell that

and i vote ima wait for more results befor i jump on it

[gza.zao]

I gotta quick question. I am getting $2500 from the company i work for to buy a computer for "educational" purposes. I'd like to order it in the next couple weeks so heres my question. Should i just get a FX-55, or San Deigo 4000+ or wait for the FX-57. Also, anyone have an idea on when the FX-57 is gonna come out/cost?

[Fzero]

last thing i herd from my birdie is 57 wont come till Q3 because of 90nm 55 my birdie could be wrong tho

3000+ venice from sparco here!

[NickS]

Yeh. I'm itching for the new AMD Turion for my Socket754 board. .

[LowRun]

I plan on getting one when they are available coz i bought 4x512 TCCD sticks like 2 weeks ago to initiate the build of a new rig so now i need the missing parts as soon as possible. Waiting for results is not relevant in this case as i have to buy one anyway, just hope they'll do well.

what is a Venice ? San Diego ? ----------3 --------------7.50%

Personally I have FAITH (thats a big word) that the new San Diego will be a better OCer than the Winchester. True the initial stepings may not OC as well as later ones, but then again ? I just gota have one ! lol

+ if I can just get 2800mhz out of it with the 1mb cache I'd be real happy for the $340 I spent, sure beats the $1000+ the FX57 is going to cost.

[VSpecII]

why dud you guts pre-order a 4000+, when a OC'ed 3700+ would out perform it?

I assumed they're speed-bined. Why take the risk, if you have the money to spend?

valid point, I've always bought the higher clocked chips vs the lower

Pre-Ordered a 3700+ from sparco

4/18

please CPU gods let it ship

[Cpt Twitchy]

Meh, I mow lawns so the feds don't scare me *yet*

Same here but I don't een have my own pc yet.

As for the voting, I did not vote for I don't have the money to build a pc that would please me. If I were in a postion to buy I would have voted to wait till I see results and that they are on store shelves.

I preordered a 3700+ from Sparco on 4/13. I sincerely hope it comes in 4/18 as promised....

[Poki]

I'll be a waiter and snipe a 3700+ when the time is right. Might be as soon as they're "in stock" or as late as in "nice price". I really should be more worried about replacing my 6600gt with something alittle more "high end" but in reality most of the games i play run OK at 1600x1200x32 with no AA or AF which is what i prefer. I would however be very pleased with a SD running in the 2.8-2.9GHz region on water.

[JDizzle]

Well I just gave in and pre-ordered a Venice from Sparco.com .

[KingYubbo]

umm San Diego won't be available in the 3200+ flavour later on would it? Cos if so, i'd rather wait for that then get the Venice.

[Major]

I don't expect ANY of the online retailers to have them in stock b4 the first week in May, and even then only in limited qty.

[Gorod]

I preordered a 3700+ from Sparco on 4/13. I sincerely hope it comes in 4/18 as promised....

Same thing here but with Next Day shipping service

[Boogotop]

i hope to see Diego soon in store!! i will probably go with a 4000+....12x will be great with BH and UTT

[Sentential]

Screw Diago...Im waiting for Presler

Screw Diago...Im waiting for Presler

Why? It's supposed to launch at 3.4GHz max, nearly 1 year after Smithfield's measly 3.2GHz top speed.

If you want a DC part, you should pick up an A64 X2 in June.

[UObean]

Well... I wasn't going to preorder my 3700 because Monarch was saying it wouldn't ship until the 2nd and I've never used Sparco. But I looked up Sparco on Resellerratings and they appear to be genuinely good so I went ahead and ordered. Hopefully I got in on the first shipment.

[Hombre]

I'm not a resident of the US. So I;ve decided to wait untill San-Diego hits the streets of my little country. If you think about it for a moment, it is always good to wait for the 2nd batch, don't care what's the price, or how far the ETA is. I wouldn't like to be a guiena pig nor the ones who are always jumping on the 1st batch.

A Sandy with 1M cache is very tempting... but with a Winnie that Would...

You need to add a voting option, "When have cash for the cache"

*Hopes Uncle Sam sends "rebate" soon*

[drcrawn]

Poll doesnt have, "already have a Diego" option, heh. There are some advantages to s940 after all...
Currently the chip does 2.825ghz with about 1.42v on water. Having the 13x multi is very nice too

there is a 3ghz shot in there somewhere too.
