There are people out there doing this already. Check eBay.

Thanks OP got mine, They have huge pallets of these motherboards sitting in the aisles at the Indianapolis store.

from yesterday's Fry's deal for $68? I haven't opened my box yet.. If this is better and worth
the $10 more, I'll go exchange it.

that one is $99, the $68 one from yesterday is BE-2300 CPU,isnt it.

yup the 68 dollar one is Athlon x2 be2300... i wonder too which combo is better...

I agree, If only Fry's have bough the old CompUSA retail locations....

That's how Fry's got so big. They bought out Tandy Universe. Anyone remember that. Before that it was just a wittle store here in the bay where you could kick back on the sofas, have a coke and talk about math. Look at the trucks they use. Many of them still say Universe all blacked out.

Is it better than the BE2300 deal? Hmmm..... HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

KRIPYA said:Looks like the $68 combo is little better as BE-2300 processor is 1.9 Ghz with low 45W power consumption. Also the GeForce7050M-M motherboard supports DDR2 800 RAM.

Man, that's a good one. I haven't heard something that funny in years. AMD CPUs are slower at the same clock then Intel CPUs. So a 1.9Ghz BE2300 is about the speed of a 1.2Ghz Intel CPU. It's not even in the same ball park. Also, AMD CPUs are mother earth raping power eaters. Get an Intel CPU to save the planet and your wallet.

Anyone verified in Austin yet? If not I suppose I can head over after work and check...need to dump something in my P180 (Not from recent deal....but about 1.5 years ago)

no rebate hassles!

Give us one of you Meijers and we'll give you one of our Frys.

yousearch said:Are they offering the E2200 at the same price in Southern California as well? (i.e. Anaheim, City of Industry or Fountain Valley stores)

Yes - just bought one at the Fountain Valley store, although it took CSR a while to figure out how to replace E2180 by E2200.

I gave up, so drove to frys, tell CS the magic word,E2200,and he knew what I was talking about, I am sure after .5 yr, the frice will be $48, but well, 1 more desktop at home, priceless.
