Weekly Hardware Price Guide - CPUs & Video: October 2002 1st Edition
by Kristopher Kubicki on October 5, 2002 9:52 PM EST- Posted in
- Guides
Introduction
For those of you not familiar with the guides here is a brief overview on
how we construct them:
We select vendors to appear in our Price Guides based on two requirements: solid consumer feedback and having the lowest possible pricing. You'll notice that these vendors aren't paying us to be listed here; we do not accept requests to be listed here. We have tried to eliminate vendors with low feedback rating, but we do encourage you to do your own research before purchasing from any of these vendors.
With the new and improved Price Guides we have not only increased our standards when evaluating online vendors, but we have also partnered up with our friends at CNet to offer yet another service to you all. Using CNet's Shopper.com search engine we can provide you with an additional pool of vendors to search from that are checked up on by CNet. You can wade through those results by clicking on the CNet Pricing link in the second to last column on the right.
If there are any problems with the guide or a vendor's pricing changes dramatically then be sure to email the author listed at the top of the page and we'll take appropriate action. Remember that although some vendors may be cheaper, we only list those with generally positive feedback from a decent number of consumers. As usual, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to email us or post in the AnandTech Forums.
Also be sure to check out AnandTech's Hot Deals Forum for even more great CPUs, Video Cards and other technology buys.
Disclaimer
AnandTech does not endorse any vendor listed in the following price guide.
AnandTech does not sell positions on the Price Guide. AnandTech nor any of
the vendors listed in this guide guarantee the prices presented in the following
pages.
This Week
As usual, if you have any reports of incorrect prices please feel free to
email us with the name of the vendor and the product/price that appears incorrectly
on their website. This will help us produce a more useful guide in the future.
Last week we did not publish a Motherboard/Memory Guide, but don't worry! The new guide will be back next week.

It seems as though AMD processors this week moved very little. The 2400+ and 2600+ are FINALLY available, and by our sources they aren’t exactly cheap either. We’re not sure if we are more disappointed in the cost of these new chips, or the fact that they were supposed to be available over a month ago. When the new AMD’s become more mainstream, we should expect to see a large drop in price.

Intel chips had a relatively flat week. This week has a new addition; the Celeron 2.0GHz. It’s been a while since there have been any low end processor upgrades, so this was fairly welcomed. When these chips get below $100 they should be fairly attractive!

The ATI cards seem to continue stabilizing after the 9xxxx release. There are dozens of manufactures putting out products with ATI chips now, so we are going to attempt to only track the most attractive priced and performanced cards from now on.
Next week we will be bringing back the Memory/Motherboards Priceguides! We are currently thinking about how we can increase the usefulness of our Guides, and we need YOUR feedback. Tell us what needs to be changed so that we can provide the best guides possible! Feel free to email me as I will currently be the only editor working on the guides.
