Weekly Hardware Price Guide - CPUs & Video: September 2002 4th Edition
by Kristopher Kubicki on September 20, 2002 9:23 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.
This week showed very little movement in the processor market. Previous cuts in the CPU market seem to have stabled off and will most likely stay stable for several weeks to come...

This week proved again to be weak for AMD chips. We are starting to see more and more 2200+ chips, but still no XP 2400+’s. Let’s hope for some more price drops in two weeks!

It also appears to be a fairly dull week in the Intel chipset market. The 2.6B and 2.8B P4’s are basically falling into the same pattern the 2.53B and the 2.4B held a couple months ago. New announcements at IDF seem to have done little to move the price in the processors.

Again, little movement in the Video Cards this week. As we have been very patiently awaiting the N30, we can only hope this is a calm before the storm. There are a few good deals out there, but buyers who have not purchased a GF4 yet may want to wait it out these last couple months.
