Are you sure Aleki? I went there about a week ago, and they were all out. Did you happen to find out how many they had in stock? I might have to take a drive back into Boston. Sweet! :D

Ahh. Online it says there's 31 left. I hope that's not BS...

Nope, not BS. just picked one up yesterday ;)
Just reserve one online before you make your trip. These will probably fly off the shelves

PS: Batch number L846B715, so mine came out late november from the Malaysia plant. I'm willing to bet they're all the same

I'm having a hell of a time deciding on going for a AMD 790X mobo DDR2 with a 955 or 940 + UD4P, Oooor grabbing a P45 and going one of these. Someone is getting my current rig but I can't decide. What do you guys think. Either way I'm keeping my DDR2.

p.s. anyway to tell on box if its a E0?

Why? It's pretty much the same as the 790X board?
Were i3's going to work on 775 boards?

would this be OKAY with a Asus P5E X38 board? Microcenter is just 5 miles away from me and they have 30 of these.
