For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.
I remember paying like around $450 for this when it came out :) My upgrade was a $200 AM5 7700 from Aliexpress.. I also remember seeing AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz CPU's in 2000 for $1250 from ARC Computers in Penrith NSW
