Price Guides August 2003: CPUs, Motherboards, Memory and Video Cards

Introduction
For those of you not familiar with the guides here is a brief overview on
how we construct them:
We select vendors to appear in our Price Guides based on two requirements: solid consumer feedback and having the lowest possible pricing. You'll notice that these vendors aren't paying us to be listed here; we do not accept requests to be listed here. We have tried to eliminate vendors with low feedback rating, but we do encourage you to do your own research before purchasing from any of these vendors.
If there are any problems with the guide or a vendor's pricing changes dramatically then be sure to email the author listed at the top of the page and we'll take appropriate action. Remember that although some vendors may be cheaper, we only list those with generally positive feedback from a decent number of consumers. As usual, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to email us or post in the AnandTech Forums.
Also be sure to check out AnandTech's Hot Deals Forum for even more great CPUs, Video Cards and other technology buys.
Disclaimer
AnandTech does not endorse any vendor listed in the following price guide.
AnandTech does not sell positions on the Price Guide. AnandTech
nor any of the vendors listed in this guide guarantee the prices presented
in the following pages.
This Week
As usual, if you have any reports of incorrect prices please feel free to
email us with the name of the vendor and the product/price that appears incorrectly
on their website. This will help us produce a more useful guide in the future.

Monarch all prices at $30. I don't think it's a bug, since it affects no other merchant. If you follow the link the real price is revealed at the true rate (which isn't $30, trust me).I say it is no coincidence, and would rather see true pricing from honest merchants.

Many of the prices from Monarch Computers Systems have the price listed as $30 which is wrong. This includes several Intel and AMD processors. Maybe a bug?KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, August 27, 2003 - link

I am going to delist Compubuzz.comAnonymous User - Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - link
How do you select vendors "with generally positive feedback from a decent number of consumers"? It seems that compubuzz.com has a lot of unfavorable feedback at resellerratings.com, yet they managed to grab half of the AMD CPU listings in this guide...Anonymous User - Tuesday, August 26, 2003 - link
Is there a good way to find low profile memory?
