Introduction
In the 2nd edition of June's price guides we bring you listings for Intel and AMD CPUs as well as video cards carrying the major brands of GPUs.. Beginning this coming month of June, the price guides will be updated every week, alternating between CPUs/video cards and Motherboards/Memory. 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.

With the new and improved Price Guides we have not only increased our standards when evaluating online vendors, but we have also partnered up with our friends at CNet to offer yet another service to you all. Using CNet's Shopper.com search engine we can provide you with an additional pool of vendors to search from that are checked up on by CNet. You can wade through those results by clicking on the CNet Pricing link in the second to last column on the right.

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.

CPU pricing this week seems to be decreasing at a slow but steady pace on most of the models of Intel and AMD chips. Some prices seem to skyrocket, though.

On the video side of things, Asus has been added to the list of cards carrying the GeForce4 Ti series chips. This brings a total of 4 big name brands to the guides.

Overall, the AMD CPU prices have all fallen with the exception of the Athlon MP 1600+, 1800+, 1900+, and 2000+. These prices show a great increase for these higher model MP processors. The Athlon 1.0GHz and 1.1GHz have also been added to the guides this week.

This week's prices for Intel CPUs are a combination of increases and drops in costs. While most of the chip's prices have fallen since the last CPU price guide, some remain unchanged while others, like the P4 2.26GHz and 2.4GHz have increased sharply. Also, a few chips have been added to the list like the Celeron 1.4GHz, as well as the P4 1.6A GHz and 1.8A GHz. The P3 933Mhz and 1.0GHz, both FCPGA have also been added.

Last time we received many emails on the mistake we made in the pricing for the PNY GeForce4 Ti4200 and the Ti4600. We thank you for pointing these errors out to us in order to help construct more accurate price guides in the future. As you can see from the chart, most of the video cards have either been cut down by a few dollars on their cost or have not changed at all. Some newly added cards include the Asus line of Geforce4 Ti series cards as well as various Ti series cards from PNY and Leadtek.
