Newegg can goto hell as far as im concerned. Im sick of them socking it to us.
For those who got the Tiger Direct 6300's, you lucky bastards. Im sure someone will get in trouble for shipping them. What i dont understand ism why is intel so harsh with this Aug 7th date?
My order for an OEM E6400 from TigerDirect now has tracking info in UPS system for an Origin Scan. They're shipping me something...
I just got off the phone with one of my suppliers, and the good news is that I have enough 6300's coming in to cover all existing pre-orders, and they are on the way as we speak (No word on other models, yet).
The more interesting bit of news is that he BEGGED me not to ship them until after the 7th, because Intel is demanding that nobody ship until then apparently. Thus, I would not expect any retailers to ship any more prior to that, lest they face the wrath of Intel. This certainly explains everyone giving the 7th as an ETA.
I'm curious if there will be any fallout from the few that have been leaked out so far.

Just ordered an E6400 from Monarch.
$252 2-day shipped :)
Woo!
Intel is just being stupid with this August 7th crap. First they have an NDA date and then they have an "official" launch date and then the X6800's are shipping but nothing else is and now they are saying the rest of the lineup won't be allowed to be shipped until August 7th. They should of had ONE date and they should of lifted the NDA, officially announced Conroe, and had some ready to hit retail channels and that date should of been TODAY since it was suppost to of been the 24th and then got pushed back.
Prices seem to be inline,E6300 and E6400 at least, with what dailytech posted in april. http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/1...oe_pricing.jpg
when did you order? i ordered like 5 hours ago and haven't gotten any shipping info yet. Is there still a change TD will ship mine today you think? I paid for overnight air shippingQuote:

Sorry, but :banana::banana::banana::banana: that. It seems like I've been waiting forever. And now Intel wants to delay it even longer? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I'm going crazy. I'm on this crappy laptop and I'm going to miss Quakecon if I don't have a chip soon. :\
If I were a vendor and I saw that TigerDirect was already shipping chips, I'd consider the embargo broken and ship away.Quote:

All this drama is like a season of 24, except it actually DOES happen in real time.
uhh

Prices finally seem more reasonable though...
My 6400's shipping from TD has been updated to Departure Scan from Hodgkins, IL. It's definitely shipping for real.
$360 for an OEM E6600?Quote:

if you look at the OP you will find a few places...sheesh!!!111
Bingo!! That's probably been Intel's intent with the 8/7 ship date.Quote:

Synchronizing the channel so everyone has a fair shot seems like a cool thing for Intel to do. (p.s. it also minimizes price gouging)
I canceled my Buy.com order and shopped around and chose Club IT. I saved about $30 since it turned out everyone was shipping at the same time - thanks Intel!!
