    Cool fry's

    gotta luv them.

    anyway, ususally the combos are dumping motherboards that would normally sit on the shelves unsold.

    that isn't always true. what motherboard was paired up with the 2.4 P4???

    i mean, the 2.4 is still going for $150 at the cheapest, so it is making that motherboard look real cheap, gotta be a reason..............maybe an Intel board??????? not for clockers.

    beware.

    Normally Fry's uses ECS and Soyo dragon lite boards in its combos. The Soyo dragon lite seems to be the better of the 2.
