I thought I would let you all know that our hardware sponsor, zZQ Online, is currently listing the Thunder K7 for $569 (USD). You can also pick-up a pair of 1.2GHZ Athlon MP's from Josh for $251 (USD) each as well.

If you're in the market for some dual AMD goodness, give zZQ Online a look and let them know who sent you ;-)

#9432 Posted on: 06/08/2001 08:17 PM I'm holding out for a Tiger K7.... When the faster AthlonMPs debut, those 1.2ghz rockets will drop in price, too. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

#9433 Posted on: 06/09/2001 01:01 AM FWIW, that price will drop below $500 next week sometime...so a little flower told me... A couple Apple products and a bizarre ASUS S479 box.

When the faster AthlonMPs debut, those 1.2ghz rockets will drop in price, too. at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/wst-05.06.01-000/ in short words (my english is not the best ;-)) ) -> the German magazine c't have tested two 'normal' 1333Mhz Athlons and also two 900Mhz Durons at the Tyan mainboard. They are running well ! Problem-Benchmarks at the Tyan-Board are 'Quake3 with active dual' and '3DMark2001' - but only with the unsupported AMD's (1333er 'normal' Athlon/Duron ... the c't suppose missing drivers). A benchmark of reality - e.g. the benchmark of the 3D-software Cinema4D - shows the power of the Athlons : 1,2 and also the unsupported 1,333 are faster than the new (!) Dual-Xeon 1,7. A dual-Duron 900 is not the best solution - it should be 30% slowlier than Dual PIII-1Ghz. The new Tyanboard couldn't be overclocked - only 100 and 133Mhz is possible - and only Registered DDR-SDRAM-DIMM's are supported.

#9435 Posted on: 06/09/2001 04:27 AM Waaaaa! I just about had myself talked into getting the Thunder K7 when I noticed it only has 64 bit/33mhz slots and not 64 bit/ 66 mhz. :mad: Guess I'll have to wait till the Abit or gigabyte boards come around.

That's actually the chipset - not the board. The MPX with 66Mhz PCI will be here soon. JackieO Editor http://www.accelenation.com
