I just got a tracking number from Clubit for my E6700 OEM :toast: I called them this morning asking when it would ship. They said next week at first, then I told them my retail 6400 showed up already. I said if zzf sent theirs, why cant you guys. They said If I faxed them my ZZF packing slip to show others were sending, they would send mine. Plus all the others that were waiting to ship. I hope I didnt get zzf in trouble lol. Hope everyone starts getting tracking #'s from Clubit!

Also a side note, this 6400 rocks! My first Core2. All I gotta say is wow these things are fast! 414FSB so far on my P5WDH. Cant wait for the 6700!

Retail-3 year warranty thru intel.
Oem- warranty is whatever the place you buy it from gives you and any warranty replacement is done by that retailer. Some have odd rules.

Oem chips are sometimes cherrypicked thru first by the seller for ocing. Retail is factory sealed.

So if I lap it that throws all that out the window... I was more concern that retail might be better then OEM so far what I have been told is they are 2 of the same cpus except one was package the othe was not.

The person I dealt with was Chu at Clubit. Very helpful. They want them sent out as bad as we want them (well almost). It was a very interesting phone call. Either way hope they all make it out :D

Sorry I edited my post to late.
Cherrypicking of oem cpu's somewhere along the supply chain is only real concern.

Retails are sealed so you know they are not some cherrypickers reject.

Not many people jumping on it though cause she told me there were only 8 left.
Unless they are selling the same one to us all :(

Just ordered E6400... (clubit.com)

ok, i wanted to get E6600 but i'm on budget here and couldn't fine a retail package at reasonable price. Clubit.com has E6400 retail box for $250 (free shipping) and i could not resist... :)

Now, i need to get a MB and 2G of mem to run my Vista box... According to their web & Fedex Tracking, i should get it on 8/5.

Or am I missing something between retail/OEM? So far they are one of the cheapest on the net so far...2

ZZF has the retail E6700 for one dollar more. Their FedEx overnight is also 21usd cheaper. (I checked my old ZZF E6300 order, they charged me 14.37usd shipping FedEx overnight) You're right most places will ship Monday. Retail comes with a three year warranty and the HSF. I have never found an actual difference in the two via use. Usually OEM is cheaper.

You do need to call ClubIT to cancel orders and when I attempted before 6pm est I got forwarded to a full voice mailbox.

If you don't mind waiting til Monday, I'd haunt ZZF and wait for them to show up. I am of the opinion a lot of places that ship FedEx will allow the chips to be ordered the fourth because they won't be going anywhere over the weekend. So it will be order Friday ship Monday.

BTW did anyone receive a tracking number for the E66s Mwave had up the other day?

Complete and shipped ZZF order from last week:

:woot:

8/4 could not get here soon enough. If I can get 400FSB outta my DH\E6400, I'll be satisfied. I have a 40mm Sunon fan to fit on the NB. I might pull the board tonight and mount it...

Yeah I just got an email from ClubIT. Do to the increased shipping cost vs others in the same area, I consider the processor 588usd instead of 567usd. Anywho it's on its way so I should be able to test it well over the weekend.

Hmmm.. I still have not, although I have an order number she quoted on the phone to me and on their site when I check status, it shows same order # and "processing" but it has been OK'd by visa

And this is on their site:
08/02/06-Your order has been verified, we are processing it at this time. Thank you for shopping with us.

Did you order by phone or net?
