They told me the same thing, they didn't turn up yesterday but are expecting them either today/tomorrow. So it looks like Friday the earliest and Tuesday the latest :o because if they arrive too late on Friday then they won't be despatched on that day.
Yup :)Quote:

Will be interesting seeing the feedback people leave him who bought them...
Gonna kick myself if theyre positive..
Dabs are saying 09/08/2006, so it's best t ocheck with them then (if you're still waiting by then that is).
Damn, did you phone them then? My order and the website still claim 5-7 days, but then i'm pretty sure Budvar's was saying that right up until it shipped yesterday.Quote:

Used the webchat thing on their website. Asked 'Is the 5-7 days for the Core 2 Duo E6600 definate, or do your perhaps have any in now?'.Quote:

Where's Jimbo... we need him to speak his his contact guy..
fair enough, still it does seem odd to me that dabs are getting less supply than smaller companies like ocuk or vaduk.
[11:27:26] <Lawrence> Hi, have the core 2 duo e6600 not arrived yet? The status has changed to 53 overdue. I'm a little bit disappointed in the service as I was expecting to get mine sent yesterday.
[11:33:01] <Lil> so you have your order number please
[11:33:34] <Lawrence> Yup, 3854730
[11:34:14] <Lil> just checking
[11:39:31] <Lil> these are due to us today
[11:39:54] <Lawrence> Ok, but that was what I was told yesterday and they didn't come.
[11:40:32] <Lil> no they did not arrive to us but we have been told will be today
[11:41:37] <Lawrence> hmm, ok, thanks.
I sense a bit of attitude...
You better hold em to that... "but we have been told will be today" They better live up to that promise! :slap:Quote:

might as well wait for a quad core at this rate.
hmm I wonder if Ingram Micro is Novatech's distrib... :/
No chance of dropping the price on the OEMs?Quote:

ok, lets do a special for extreme systems members. Anyone that orders today a 6400, 6600 or 6700 CPU will get free next day delivery that with some is worth just about 10 inc VAT. Please use the comments box in the shopping cart to mention this and the shipping costs will be removed after you checkout.Quote:

But yeh, I kno its Intel vs AMD there but still.. in my mind OEM usually clock better.. Maybe better quality because companies like DELL need them to last in systems for more time than us enthusiasts...
