Hi,

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=10134793774&action=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=267

If the link breaks just look on www.ebuyer.com under Processors -> AMD
Athlon  :)

Hmm.. stock overdue of everything except AthlonXP 2800+ of which they
have 72 - at the moment...

They had one XP3000 - expected 24th August... err that's today guys....

Scan don't even list them, Aria are O/S, Simply don't stock them, and
DABS don't either.

Even Kelkoo drew a blank!

Cupboard seems distressingly bare!

There *are* some on Ebay but if you go there *please* only look at the
auctions that say "Tested *and* working" otherwise you could get
stuffed with one where the seller says "Yeah I tested it.. it was
stuffed... did I SAY it was working?"

Kind regards,

Julian
