How do you get hold of ES chips anyway? Do you have to be a reviewer or do you buy them or are part of the manufacturer's testers?

ES is free. Because my friend works in the Intel. I got Conroe and 965XE, but I have no Conroe motherboard now. So I cannot have any test for conroe. I will have 965XE result on Monday.

You're very lucky. What other things can he get apart from engineering samples?
Does he get very cheap CPUs?
