Weekly CPU & Video Card Price Guide: February 2002 2nd Edition
by Matthew Witheiler on February 20, 2002 1:09 PM EST- Posted in

Introduction
Two more weeks have passed since our last CPU and video card price guide. In an attempt to help you, the consumer, find the best prices in hardware we have compiled our February 2002 2nd edition CPU and video card price guide.
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 CPU, video card 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
The second February issue of our CPU and video card price guide does not reveal any drastic price changes. Prices did fluctuate a bit this week, resulting in lower prices again.

Compared to our last edition of price guide, AMD prices did not fluctuate very much this week. All but 4 of the AMD processors tracked on our price guide experienced price drops this week, however the price decreases ranged from $1 to $15. As usual, the highest price drop occurred in AMD's fastest processor: the Athlon XP 2000+. Although the chip price only fell $15 this week, when combined with the last price decrease of $35 the processor has fallen enough in price to gain a recommended buy status. The Duron 1.2GHz also fell enough this week to gain our low-end AMD pick this issue.
Added to our AMD table this week was the Duron 1.3GHz, debuting at a price of $90.

Pentium 4 prices drop again this week, with each speed chip dropping on average $10 this week. Last issue we saw massive price cuts in the midrange Pentium 4 and high end Pentium III chips, but this week the price cuts were not as drastic. Prices fell anywhere from $1 to $18 throughout the Intel line.
