Tomorrow my parents are making a quick trip to the US. I`m in search of any socket 462 cheap cpu, that is why I`m interested on a duron. If I had knew they were going, I would have ordered from newegg.
This duron will be for my mothers new computer (for office purposes), it`ll be using sdram that is why I only need the cheapest duron
I don't think they do...hasn't the duron been discontinued? abyways you could probably buy a low end athlon xp which usually works fine in most motherboards...
I could buy cheap athlon XP, but I want to keep it as cheap as possible, reason: my mom wants a 15" LCD, any cheap one will do. Her desk is always filled with paper work
They still do...I saw Duron 1.6GHz at CompUSA...But they are like $70 retail...you can get them cheaper on a local PC store...
PC Club sells duron processors. (They just opened a store here and they have them.) Hopefully they can find a location where they are going.Quote:

I did searh for them where I live, but none have them in stock
Gary UT, thanks I tell my parents if they find one
PS: my parents will go to McAllen, Texas; little town close to the border
A quick trip to the USA? lol... ;) :D
Anyways, no, these type of stores generally don't even carry CPUs at all.
How about doing an automatic pickup from mwave???

Well, compusa does or if he can find a microcenter...problem is your likely to pay double what you would pay online.Quote:

If its not to late ... http://mcallentx.areaguides.net/yell...ding_id=059810
If you can Newegg has the 1.6Ghz for half of what you'd pay at a retail joint.
edit: $42 To be exact.... DOH didn't realize you were in Mexico....
thanks everyone for your help!! very appreciated, sadlly my parents left at 8am (central time). I could have ordered from newegg [have ordered little more of $1,400], but I didn't know my parents were going to the US until yesterday, the package wounldn't have arrived today.
richardginn: pickup? Like Bestbuy pickup? Order online and then pickup at your nearest retail store
yes it's correct ;)Quote:

It might sound wierd becuase you live IN the US ;). But it is very common for people in my city to go 1 or 2 days to McAllen, Texas or Laredo, Texas for some shopping :D
How long is the drive? and what kind of car do they have? :DQuote:

Unfortunately the only thing in McAllen is going to be a CompUSA, Best Buy, and the usual office stores (Staples, OM,OD)
I don't quite remember what they had the last time I was there (CompUSA). I'm sure they had several Athlon XP's but I rather doubt that there were any Durons at that store. Sorry man, I think thats probably your only shot in McAllen though.
