Ask the wall why it doesn't move. You will get the same response from Sparco. They probably got that ETA from the release date rumors on the web. :rolleyes:

Consider this...

1. Does anyone else have them (including sparco?) (Just got off phone and they admitted they don't have a clue, amd isn't telling )

2. They aren't charging your cc until shipped.

3. They seem to be okay about cancellations anyway.

4. So you're going to go to the end of another queue somewhere else?
(If I was not in the first shipment I would be :clap: since I would move up for when they available :D ).

I am just waiting until something shows, then making a move if any is needed. You guys are just getting jumpy since your immediate gratification instinct is being frustrated (must have a cbbid :bsod: )

Since Spanko doesn't charge my credit card till they ship out the cpu, I"ll keep my pre-order open over there and jump on the Monarch bandwagon, I won't count on this but the ETA is May 6th for the OEM 3700 SD...let's see who has it in stock and ship it out first, I'll be damn if Newegg beat them to it and give everyone a surprise.

I cancelled my Sparco order. I don't reward liars with my business, and you shouldn't either.

This is the first and will be the last time I order from Spanko, there's nothing else we can do now, all I care is to get my hands on the damn cpu as quickly as possible incase they have it sooner than Monarch, once I receive the cpu from whomever THEN I'll be leaving Spanko a "VERY NICE" rating for lying and giving us false hope. :slapass:

What you are saying is pretty much true and their prices were pretty good campared to other pre-listers. Whether they can deliver in the long run remains to be seen. The important part bis they don't charge till they ship, so no biggie leaving the order in place.

I was under the impression you couldn't leave negative feedback unless you actually ordered something. I suppose they gave you an invoice, but with a large number of people making complaints without actually completing an order they may not count them. I'll probably stick it out with Sparco just because I'll probably make the first shipment. But if newegg or someone else gets them first I'll cancel my order. You can be sure though if I actually complete my transaction with Sparco I'll be leaving them some negative feedback. What I absolutely hate in the retail business more than anything is when people just make stuff up. If you don't know the answer, just say so. What they did was clearly designed to get a large number of preorders by purposely lying.

Those dates are for new orders, not previously placed pre-orders, according to Monarch.

I just notice that eventhough the OEM and Retail 3700 SD are few bucks more at Monarch, but the shipping is much less than Spanko, a Retail 3700 SD at Spanko + 2-days shipping is $359.47 but the same Retail processor with same shipping at Monarch is only $354.29. Oem version at Monarch is even better, with 2-days shipping it is $344.29. :D :D

So if these dates are for new orders, when will they be shipping previously placed pre-orders?

I wouldn't pay much attention to any of these dates at this stage. In all likelyhood, when they do finally ship, Egg, Zoom, etc will have stock within a day or so of the ones taking pre orders.

:slobber: Lovely thought, a 3500 San Diego. Notice the page says this is a RETAIL chip. Can't say I am sure this is real, but it bears watching. ;)

If it makes a difference, the cpu is listed on on of AMD's authorized distributor's line sheet.

I notice the listing shows 2.0ghz and 1mb l2 cache?

Previous information I've seen including a picture of a SD 3500+ OEM chip indicate that is a 512k l2 cache chip that will presumably run at 2.2ghz

SD 3500+ OEM ADA3500DAA4BN

Notice the 4BN, the 4 signifies 512k cache, my SD3700+ OEM is ADA3700DAA5BN

5=1mb
4=512k
3=256k
2=128k
1=64k
