agreed it causes retails to compete for your business. Who's going to pay 1300 for x6800 when everyone else is selling it for 1014.0 for exampleQuote:

remember back in the good ole days when newegg shipped just about everything FREE and the refurbs were DIRT CHEAP??
Those were the days...now it's about ripping you a new one LOLQuote:

August 7th sucks...I'll only have several days to mess with it before I go on vacation then college starts the day after I get back :(

should I pre-order the E6600 from TankGuys with no known ETA for when it might be shipped? Or should I wait for ZZF to have it in stock and get it cheaper...I just don't see how I will know which will have it first, I really wished I could get this chip next week...but that looks unlikely now :(
Those were the days when egg was building good releationships with customers. Now are the days when egg can make money on the relationships with faithful customer that doesn't now better.Quote:

Prepare Conroe's weapons... the battle begins after 8/7. The ORB will never be the same.
Yay! My E6300 order just shipped from ZipZoomFly!!! Just got the e-mail! $199 for a retail E6300 was a sweet price last night :D.
ZipZoomFly gave me my tracking number for the E6300 I ordered!:woot:
Yep I got my tracking number for my E6300. I went back and got rid of my earlier nasty post.
Props to ZZF!
Here's some proof for those that still might not believe :p:

yep, TigerDirect is not that bad!
I have a E6400 on it's way, and will be here tomorrow by 6:00 pm!
I will definitely post some results!
I have to say, I have been a little weary all day long. My original plan was to get the E6600, so all day i've been considering my decision, wondering if I wasted my money by not waiting for the 4mb L2 Cache from the E6600. But after doing some research, i'm glad I went with the less expensive chip, for two reasons:
1. I only play CS:S
2. the extra 2 mb cachhe doesn't seem to make enough of a difference to convince me to spend an extra 100+ dollars.
Anyway, i'm quite excited...I do have one real concern; my ram. I am affraid my ram will be a complete bottleneck. :confused: :confused: :confused:
