Stock info is available again.
Edit: I think i'm gonna pre-order from them..
That isn't stock that "they" are getting!! That's a link to stock expected at all or some of the major commercial US distributers.Quote:

How stock is going to be allocated to the resellers is anyone's guess. (I'd guess FIFO with an upper qty. limit to each reseller while product remains constrained).
I don't think 3000 pieces of E6600 will go too far given all the retailer/resellers out there.
They seem to have perfect reseller rating as well. Also they do post replies to entries by dissatisfied customers which indicates that they care about their reputation.Quote:

Im not sure if it matters or not but if you click some other items on their site you get this message rather than an inventory:Quote:

Hopefully that means they are actually receiving the cpu's into their warehouse :confused:
We will see tomorrow. No point in arguing really until then.
But, even if they do begin to process orders tomorrow..., hell - look at my signature. My rig ain't ready to go live!
I planned to make the rig go live around 23rd. Well..., I wouldn't mind early launch though - :cool:
If a member here can get over 300 chip in his house, I think 3200 isn't that much for a "major" retailer.. :p:Quote:

it is completly understandable why someome would not provide "proof".
It's rare and hard to have THREE HUNDRED chips ES before the product's launch well in advance (this was WEEKS ago the guy claimed he had THREE HUNDRED chips). Read posts before flaming :rolleyes: .Quote:

By the way I was not flaming, simply stating a fact that you seem not to grasp. Nevermind, I forgot, you are the guy who thought his conroe was shipping on the 22nd of June from buy.com. good one!
I'll tell you guys what I know.
I have hundreds of these on order, from every single one of the major Intel distributors. ETA's from them range from today (ha) to September 18th. If I've learned one thing over the years, it's that those ETA's are pretty useless.
Honestly, I'll be surprised if anyone starts shipping these by the 14th. It's certainly possible, and I'd love it - but it'd be surprising. None of the distributors even have any yet, and keep in mind, these have to filter through many levels of the supply chain before they start shipping to you consumers.
If you have people at BLT (or anywhere else) saying anything before July 27th, I'd take it with a grain of salt. Not to say they are trying to con or decieve - they may well get them early. I'm just saying I wouldn't bet on it. They may be giving out this information based on erroneous data from thier suppliers.
To be clear, the ETA's from BLT are the inventory information from Ingram Micro, one of the big distributors. This is the information showing when the processors are SUPPOSED to arrive at IM's warehouse - NOT when BLT will have them. I can also tell you from experience that IM's ETA's are quite inaccurate. To further complicate matters, I've got the first 60 or so of thier 6600's going to us.
We've been taking pre-orders for about 5 days now, and we are not promising any specific date, just for this reason. I'm assuming I'll have them by the original July 27th date, but it remains to be seen. I'd say it's good to assuming the original launch date, and not get too excited if people claim to have them before then :)
Actually, the specific forum member I'm talking about is just a newly-registered user who had been claiming that, and had been flamed into oblivion at the time. Maybe YOU should be looking more carefully :rolleyes: . On the buy.com thing it acted like it was shipping, hence the excitement. You'd be excited too ;) if you weren't so dense.Quote:
