Introduction
For this weeks price guides we have compiled a list of prices for CPU and Video Cards. 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.

CPU prices continued to decrease steadily while AMD debuts two new chips.

Due to popular demand several new cards based on the GeForce4 GPU have been added.

As expected, the AMD chip prices are slowly dropping and price. Two new chips have been added, the XP 2200+ and the MP 2100+. Both have been priced fairly aggresively and we expect to see dramatic price drops in both these chips in the next few weeks.

While the older P3 chips seem to be leveling off, the highend P4s continue a slow decrease in price. Most noted are the 533MHz chips, which seem to be taking the largest price cut.

The Video Card market has been fairly flat. A few cards have been added, including MSI and Powercolor. Matrox's new card, the Parhelia 512, was still unavailable at this time, but look for it in the next CPU/Video Card update in 2 weeks!
