Tax at TigerDirect ewwwwwwww.
I just don't see what Intel is waiting till August 7th for. Their rep gives this big talk about how they have $200 million in Conroe stock ready for launch and they can't even deliver a handful on the launch day? What's the point in waiting till the 7th? Just pissin me off is all that they are accomplishing.
I just got this from a ClubIT rep
"The CPUs are available now. Please visit our link below. CPUs are in stock but Intel rules won't let us ship out until August 7th."
http://www.clubit.com/search.cfm?key...CPU/Processors
INTEL Conroe E6600 Core 2 Duo Processor 2.40Ghz 4MB S775 Retail (BX805576600)
In Stock: Sold Out
Wow already out of stock
They're protecting their much larger, and much more lucrative OEM partners. Two-week exclusive is what it boils down to, the X6800 was just offered for the early adopter crowd. Has nothing to do with stock levels, it about giving a client like Dell, who will purchase millions of Core 2 Duo chips in the coming months, preferential treatment.Quote:

wtf, why won't intel let you ship til the 7th?
All this stuff about the 27th from Intel, then they hold people back and don't let anyone know what's going on?
Isn't it because of Apple's WWDC opening on Aug 7? I guess Jobs asked Intel to hold the sales of Conroes so as to not steal their thunder of announcing new PowerMac with a C2D CPU.Quote:

It looks like you guys are sold out already because it wont let me pre-order.Quote:

Read the thread. A few early orders shipped out and depleted their inventory. Backorderd now.Quote:

If you're building a rig for gaming and trying to watch how much you spend then i would skip the E6600 and 150GB raptor and go with like a Seagate 320GB 7200.10 and an E6300/E6400 and invest in a Crossfire board and dual graphics because that will offer the far best gaming performance.Quote:

That's because you tried to order an OEM chip. Order the retail chip and it should go thru.Quote:
