Intel Dual CoreE5200 CPU + Biostar GF7100P-M7S mATX board @ Fry's B&M for $75 (after $15 MIR)

blusubaru · 07-04-2009, 08:38 AM

Sounds like a good deal to me, but can't get frys.com to load at all. Should have a comparable deal online.

Is the cpu retail box or OEM, that about a $10 to $12 difference. + there is tax too at FRYS.

good deal, the same or a little better than the E5200 retail and Asrock G31 motherboard I got from EWIZ for $98.00 shipped a couple weeks ago.

Just about always boxed for the 5200 deals

Dang! They're offering a similar combo in the Sacramento area, but that one has the E5400 instead and is $20 more!

blusubaru · 07-04-2009, 11:37 AM

Just went and bought it. It IS a boxed version of the CPU. They also have 4GB of ram (2x2GB) for $25. So after all rebates (1x$15 and 1x$20), $100. I'm going to swap these pieces into an older case (my first PC, I'm a Mac guy). Not too bad!

The ad is online at the LA Times website under the retail goods section: http://latimes.p2ionline.com/shop...annel/rop/

The deal isn't available in LA. The add shows the e5400 combo for $95 after a $15 rebate ($109 plus tax instore).

Wasn't on the ad here in Indy either, but it was advertised on the wall in the components department. Salesman knew right away which one it was and had to pull a board from overstock.

Anyone get one of these cheap Biostar combos yet? Do they have better overclocking options than the ECS boards did?

Yes this board is definitely better than ECS. Its one of the only boards out there that has built in DVI. This is a huge plus for those who own LCDs and dont want to buy a graphics card. Dont forget it has RAID too! The overclocking options are pretty limited, though.

how much faster is the 5200 is than the e2200?

Great deal	83%
Unable to replicate deal	17%
