There’s a few nice AMD cpu with motherboard combo’s at Frys this weekend. There seems to be one to meet any of your dual-core, triple, or quad-core needs, which is pretty sweet. They’ve got a Dual-Core AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ with an ECS Geforce 7050M-M2 motherboard for $79.99. Here’s the specs for the motherboard:
*Nvidia Geforce 7050/630a chipset
*supports DDR2, Sata2, and RAID
*has a PCI-E video card slot and on-board nvidia graphics
*6 Channel audio
For their Triple-COre offering, there’s the AMD Phenom 8450 processor with an ECS Geforce 7050M-M V2 motherboard for $119.99. For the specs, its got the following:
*Nvidia Geforce 7050/630a chipset as well
*supports DDR2, Sata2 and RAID
*also has a PCI-E video card slot, in addition to the on-board video
*6 channel audio
And for the Quad-Core bundle, they’ve got an AMD Phenom X4 9550 and an ECS Geforce 7050M-M2 for $139.99. Same specs as previously mentioned in the dual-core combo for the motherboard.
If you really look it, you’re pretty much paying for the cpu and getting a free motherboard, so its not surprisingly a decent deal. DDR2 ram is pretty cheap these days, so if you were in the market for an affordable upgrade, it would be pretty easy to get a quad core setup for 150 or 160ish bucks, depending on how much ram you get. These are in-store only as well, so just drop by your local Frys to check these out.
