From our front-page news:
It's no secret that the economy is in rough shape right now, and it's because of that, that many are looking for ways to save their hard-earned cash, or at least not splurge. If you happen to need a computer upgrade though, or want to build a new machine, AMD has teamed up with various e-tailers to offer some pretty sweet discounts when you take advantage of bundling. Considering AMD's processor line-up is already well-priced, the additional savings are just the icing on the cake.
E-tailers partaking of the "March AMDness" (get it?) event include Newegg, Mwave, ZipZoomfly, Canada Computers, NCIX and Memory Express. For ECS fans, the company has also teamed up with Newegg to offer special deals, using their motherboards.
Out of all those, Newegg has put the most effort into their AMDness sale, and offer you the ability to first choose the CPU you want (out of five) and then choose a motherboard or GPU that you wish to bundle. The other sites offer fixed bundles, so it's nice to be able to actually fine-tune your selection here. It's a pretty good selection, too. If you are really looking to save some dough, you can pair up an X3 710 2.6GHz with an ECS A790GXM-A for just $209... and that's without the $15 mail-in rebate. That's a great deal, any way you look at it!
