Modded components were the four VSA-100 graphics processor and ram chips. Read more and view images Here

In the previous plan of AMD price-cut on July 24, it?s curious that AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8GHz/1MBx2 L2/1GHz HT) was excluded in the list. To compare with Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB L2/1066MHz FSB), it?s no point for AMD to maintain its price in the battle. The final answer has come, AMD decided to drop Athlon 64 FX-62 from $999 to $799, 22.5% lower, according to the latest price list from AMD. The drop is also scheduled on July 24. Meanwhile, AMD has announced the pricelist for Q4 as well. Yet it has no effect on the AMD desktop processors.
