For the first time in my life, I am upset with Newegg. They seem to no longer carry anything older than AM3 in their processor lineup. There are tons of people still running AM2/AM2+ machines who could use processors. Was about to go purchase a 5400+ dual core that they carried only a few days ago, now they only offer the newest processors from AMD it seems. So much for them being the go to place for all computer parts.

got a phenom X4 to replace my X2 last year, just needed to update the bios. But I agree to the newegg disappointment. |
I was just talking with the bodyshop guy next door and this kid came to pick up his S4 that was getting fixed. Apparently the kid had a TT first and smashed that, so then the parents got him the S4 and he smashed that out on a lake somewhere.
The kid comes to pick it up and immediately rips on it out of the parking lot. Its a fucking stock S4 with an exhaust and a cheap intake that he didn't even buy. How can you drive it around without feeling like a total spoiled little girl. |

Dont fret homie, most AM2+ can support the AM3 processor with a bios update... I know mine did!

I thought my X4 940 was going to work, but something I failed to notice was the motherboard I got for her computer only supports up to 95W, and the 940 is a 125W processor. Never had to deal with TDP before, never had an incompatible motherboard, because I've never built on the cheap like I did for her. So it would have burned out the regulator in short time. So I stole the 5400+ to get her her computer. My dad rarely uses the computer anyway, so he can wait a few days for a replacement. Seems Newegg is becoming too big for their britches, more worried about profit margin than helping customers get what they need and want. |

Dammit! First my CL doesn't show up for 4 days, so I delete it and repost it. It's up for 20 minutes, and someone flags it and it comes down. Now I'm reposting it again and can't get the email from CL that allows you to publish the ad.

(too soon? sorry) Seriously, that is some horrible looking destruction. The worst part is that I know there are bodies in much of that rubble. Those poor people didn't really know what was coming, I mean the sheer size of what was coming. Stunning. |
