I know this is an old subject...
I'm presently looking for an Atlon XP2600+ 266FSB to max out my present motherboard (ECS K7S5A) and hold me for a couple years till the next big upgrade.
Pricewatch gave me three top choices of where to buy the CPU, which I cross-checked with resellerratings.com :
e1 Micro - best price/worst rating
Computer Brain - next-best price/mixed ratings (many unfavorable)
Monarch Computer Systems - 3rd best price/very high ratings (good comments were mostly high praise, bad comments were very troubling)
I was thinking of trying Monarch, as they had about the highest price I wanted to pay for the chip, but would certainly appreciate any opinions the Windrivers group can offer.
I'm hoping to get this chip ordered quick before 266FSB version goes extinct (my mobo doesn't support 333MHz bus, as most of you probably already know).
TIA
