Weekly Hardware Price Guide - CPUs & Video: September 2002 2nd Edition
by Kristopher Kubicki on September 7, 2002 4:22 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.
It looks like another good week to invest in Intel CPU's. Not only did last weeks bargains hold their price drop, they appear to have dropped further!

This week was a fairly bland week for the AMD chips. The price drops in our last guide were fairly stable on most processors, lets hope some of the new XP’s make it in time for the next edition of the Price Guides!

It looks like even more great news for those of you looking to buy a P4 in the 2.XGHz range. The price of the 2.53 is less than HALF of what it was this time last month! Pre-orders for the 2.66B and the 2.8B seem to have dropped in price as well (already). Lets hope the P4 prices will continue to stay down.

It looks like another week of very little movement in the Video Cards section. Thankfully, the ATI 9700 is coming down (ever so slightly) in price. It appears as if the GeForce4’s are dipping a little in price, hopefully for anticipation of the release (maybe even an announcement) of the next NVidia Chipset! Stay tuned for the next Price Guides!
