Only if you get a Barebone System will you get an MP system for $419.74 Including shipping. We almost overlooked that this guy want's a dual system yet only talks about having XP processors. then he can get $40 motherboards that support MP and XP processors. If he want's a Dual Cpu Motherboard he will look at spending $171 for a Tyan 2460 and $124 for each stick of PC2100 512MB and look at somewhere over $320 for 1GB. as far as a complete system think $760 the cheapest CPU's are $82 a pop the site give MP1200 for this but why is this same as the 1Ghz?? anyhow i think it would make more sense to wait at this point untill more info is out on the Opteron then to upgrade now >>>On June 15, 2002 at 01:04:05, Slater Wold wrote: >>> >>>>How did you come up with $500?! >>> >>>All prices from www.pricewatch.com >>> >>>Athlon XP 1800: $87 x 2 = $174 >>>Athlon XP Motherboard w/ dual cpu support: $80 >>>PC2100 DDR 512MB: $74 x 2 = $148 >>>60 GB EIDE Hard drive: $67 >>> >>>Now we're up to $469, and when you add in a case, power supply, cd-rom, floppy >>>disk drive, and any other basics, it's going to be around $500 (probably a >>>little more). >>> >>>So I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing, because I've seen people >>>getting figures like yours and I don't know why. >>> >>>Russell >> >>Um, you're quoting XP CPUs.
