Ya, 939 procs very hard to sell now, especially the one me and u using...
I'm still looking for a good old x2 or Opteron x2 which would give me a chance to fully utilise my mobo. Lol, but no hope until now, dun say PG shops, even LYN also hard to find...

RM4xx, where? Retail or OEM? It would be really tempting me if it was retail.
Btw, DDR is getting expensive, but there's a kit with great value:

Team Extreme Cronos 1GBx2 DDR 500 3-3-3-8 - Price should be around RM470.

Ya lor, the prices for 3000+ is rock bottom now, even Bartons are fetching more than it. Lol...But seriously if the 165 is around RM450 i would do some serious considerations...

Hmm, the RLHH bulk.
I guess Elhh82 might be able to bring some in if there's demand as long as stocks are still available, his X2 3800 bulk is still running at RM340 per piece, but too bad it's OEM. I would prefer retail units more simply because of the warranty.

Now still thinking whether to upgrade this rig, or just save the money and wait to get a whole new rig after Phenom is launched.

Btw, we've swayed way off topic...Lol...

Actually, can someone tell me exactly where is the shop?
I know GZ, Pristine, Swisspac and Sim Tech in BJ, so where is this Aarado???
(lol...talk for 7 pages d now only i ask where is this Aarado...soliii.... )

Ooohh, tat one...
Hmm, never really paid attention to them.
I remember them, yes i remember.

Still remember thos 939 Opteron days when you could get an Opty 146 for around RM800 in LYP, i happen to come across their shop and saw some optys there at the place where they put their processors, so i saja-saja ask them, whats the price for 146. And the fella there, a guy, told me that this one ar, very good processor, server use one, very high end stuff. So i ask him the price and i was very very damn sure that KL was doing around rm800 for 146, he thought that i knew nuts bout comps and just told me, quite high end one lor, 1k++ lor, i was like WTF, but purposely i push him further and ask, how much exactly, so he told me should be around 1,400. WTF, KL doing RM800, he's trying to ask for RM1,400. I walked away and told my friend that i could get 2 of those in KL for that price...

Ok, finally i posted something more relevant about Noob killing and Aarado.

I always thought it was the shop at the end of the row where pristine is, the one with an older uncle and selling like ancient stuff for "ancient" price as well...LOL...

U mean what, those opterons are still there or u mean the shop is still there?
2 possibilities:

1.) Maybe someone just opens it to pass time, not really needing the income from the shop.
2.) Too many water fish in Penang who always gets slaughtered...

I seriously hope it was the 1st reason, if not i can't imagine how many innocent victims...

So it means...water fish???
Anyhow, i bet the owner will be swearing and cursing if he knows the existence of this thread, and if he is reading this, i hope he will realise the problem with his shop and do something to it.

I wouldn't mind if prices are slightly higher and the shop offers good service, but when the slight premium is almost one extra fold on the price, which dumb ass would actually wanna pay for them.

@Phoenixwunin
DDR is expensive...but the one i stated there should be considered cheap already. High performance ram for this type of price...

And also, about upgrading to C2D...some of us 939 users still very sayang with our rigs and really feel it's not time to part with them. Anyhow to me, it still serves me well, so maybe Phenom or Penryn will be a better choice, let's just wait a little longer and see.

Too bad no 939 dual processor mobo, if not i'll be tempted to run dual 3000+ on a rig...Lol...

U bought ur 3000+ new? From which shop?
Btw, interested in Am2 3800+ X2 cheap cheap? I got one unit in hand...Lol...

Oic, i was a USM student. Just grad last semester. But will be finding for a job in Penang. Other than the stupid PC shops, every other thing about Penang is still cool. Love the food especially.

I guess you should just keep this rig and maybe use it as a BT rig, since it doesn't really worth much selling.
Where r u studying now?

Oh ok, so u High Blood Pressure student...
Hmm, skool reopening soon. So all da best in the new sem.
Convo will be in August, but i'll be around in PG most probably starting next week.
Which year r u in?

Btw, Intel price dropping in July huh, so what do you plan this time? E6600? E6750?
Actually in terms of benchies Intel is leading, but in real life experience, the differences with X2 seems to be marginal...You don't really feel it...

Oh, masters...
So u taking on part time or full time?
Taking HBP masters should not be easy, even undergrad is tough enuff.

Hmm, quad...So far your only choice will be Intel. For rendering wise, i think most benchies favor Intel, so i guess the verdict is pretty clear here...

I'm also in a dillema, whether to upgrade or to wait for Phenom then only decide...

Huhu, the ELHH82 Bulk, very tempting indeed.
It is really cheap, am tempted to get maybe the 165 but that will depend on budget limit. If i start working in this month then should not be a problem...

Hmm, stability wise, i think both of them should be stable enough. The 939 Opterons were actually meant for desktop usage rather than server, it's just adapted from the 940 server Opteron.

Bsaically, if you want to go for the opteron, you won't need to give up your entire rig, just get the proc, but if you get the C2D, then it's almost a whole rig change...

It depends on you needs lar...I think the opty should work quite well already, but if you do have the ability to go further, why not right?

That cable ar?
Not very sure o, but why do you need that?
Wanna use up to 4 monitors?
If in KL you might find it at 3E Imbi or LYP, maybe can help you have a look this week. I might be going down to lyp.
U need the VGA-2 DVI or DVI-2 VGA?

Hmm, btw if you want to go for 2GB, i would recommend the Team Xtreme Cronos 1gbx2 DDR 500 kit, it's price less then RM500. And you should be able to sell your pair of Geil off for quite a good price.

I'm looking at the Opty 170 actually, but still need to wait because for the time being, no spare budget yet.

Oh ok, i tot urs are those High Performance Geil One TCCDs.

Oh, i tought thats a normal DVI socket. I will help you ask about the DMS-59 Cable Kit when i'm in KL. Btw, why don't you try in the garage and search for another 2x512MB Geil Blue? Should be able to get for the price you expect to sell...

Not sure about the price slash though.
Even if AMD slashes their price, i doubt if the 939 prices will be affected as they are already out of production.

If i go Lowyat, most problably will be either Saturday or Sunday, i need to pick up a projector from my supplier in Imbi this week, so might have time to go around before i pick my stuff up. Btw, you have any budget limit for the cable? It's easier if you let me know how much you expect the cables to be, so if overbudget i won't get it for you.

Ya, this is life...Always when i'm not looking for that item, loads of them are up for sale, when i have the budget, everything vanish..

Tengkiu tengkiu, i will seriously consider it, maybe in 2-3 years time...
By that time if i hire lenglui and Powerslide punya bayang also tak nampak i sure whack him kaw kaw when i see him.

Btw, not that we wanna dominate, u guys all hilang entah ke mana...

Darnell, proper training will better equip them in selling. Train them to sell all those high end stuff... So when powerslide ask for PSU, show him PCP&C, when he ask casing, show him Soldam... Good idea huh...Maybe can use Taiwan selling Pinang concept in PC business.

Btw, ya swisspac prices are always high and i did realise that they tend to give some less proper information at times.

n305er, the uncle paid u to do nothing and now u come become golden finger?

Hmm, a few k of sales a day, that is wierd enough for this type of shops. Penang really so many water fish meh?

But anyhow, Aarado is for those non LYN foumers.
We LYN forumers buy direct from bulk, who wants to pay extra 50% for AS5 and 60% for Arctic Freezer.

Btw n305er,
Anything else to disclose...

I would agree with that. BJ definitely still offer better potential than some other places like Queensbay. Prangin seems to be dying...Wonder if we can get some sort of our own version of lowyat here in Penang.

Btw, Advanced???Hmm, will pay them a visit soon to see what is so advanced about their tech there, maybe Agena ES?

So they are slightly ahead of some shops in BJ since they're the 1st to carry Ah Lians in Penang i guess.
Will pay them a visit after i got the budget to get a new casing for my baby, maybe some nice cool Ah Lians...

Queensbay, i know that shop that sells loads of coolermaster stuffs, but again, prices are high and coolermaster doesn't offer things which suit my taste. Too bad those old ATCS do not come with 120mm blow holes, if not i'd be pretty tempted to get some since they are really cool. I still remember trying to find a decent NB heatsink from that shop in Queensbay and the best they could recommend would be the CM Blue Ice and also another Zalman dunno wat model. Seriously not worth the cents you pay for those heatsinks...

Haih, anyone knows shops which carry Thermalright or PcCooler stuff in PG?

Ordering Silverstone through Swisspac, ya i doubt the prices will be nice. Btw, i came across TJ06 selling for RM499 at All IT Hypermarket LY last week, i guess it's quite a good deal.

Lets just hope one stop will continue to grow and at least offer us with something more worth for our money. Gadget zone prices at one stop are now pretty competitive if compared to Lowyat's existing pricing, they seem to be not far away especially for Hard Disk and some other items.
