This conroe thing is insane - Now our first shipment may be pushed back as well, and I would not expect BLT to have these today. That ETA is still from Ingram Micro (which we have orders there as well) and they already missed 3 ETA's on these chips - so don't hold your breath :(Quote:

I'm going to send another update e-mail out tonight to all our customers, and will always keep the latest news up on our forum as well.
Dang... I hope monday is more fruitful.
I could of had my e6600 this week if td wasn't selling oem that first day... Was there any other retailer that sold oems at the same time? I mean after all the crap I've heard about not fulfilling orders for orders the same day, why OEM?! Did they just get a stockpile for custom built computers or something or was that their intent to sell oems at higher price (with disclaimer of buying heatsink/fan for warranty)?...
I just looked at Mwave and the prices are absolutely dispicable.Quote:

This is so retarded. Why can't online stores ship when they say they will? What is so hard about shipping Aug 7th.
:mad: Intel dropped the ball here, plain and simple. These are obvious supply problems.Quote:

I feel for guys like Tankguys who are a a smaller operation and trying their damndest to get these things into the hands of their customers and are getting told eta after eta that seem to continuosly change.
It also doesnt help when people say things like "be patient it will only be another week or 2." some people have spent hundreds of dollars getting ddr2 and conroe capable mobos and dont want to sit around for another couple weeks watching them gather dust.... just makes for a frustrating situation for some and it could all have been avoided if intel didnt launch on the 27th when the only real people who had an abundance of chips on that day were dell/compaq and all the other big o.e.m purchasers
Thanks for trying.Quote:

You guys are funny...many here including myself easily obtained E6400 and E6600s CPUs without an issue with NO pre-orders a week ago...I'm actually on my second Conroe now, an E6700, that just arrived.
Tip: Go with the big boys, and don't utilize pre-orders. Small boutique resellers who are chained to bigger distributors are farrrrrrrrr down on the totem pole in terms of priority to those distributors. Think about it and good luck. You'll love it once you get it, I'm stunned at how tangibly fast everything is on them, it's almost like the difference in going to a next-gen video card. Very impressive.
Yeah i'll go with the 'big boys' that overprice the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of their processors. Sorry, I actually have a budget unlike you rich spoiled little kids.Quote:

I ordered E6600 from Clubit on the 27th. I got pizzed when I saw people ordering after me getting tracking info. so I sent them an email asking to send my chip. Here's the reply:
"Hello Kevin,
Intel did give us allocation already and it's on its way here. We are expecting it to arrive today. If we can get it here on time then we'll ship it today.
Regards,
Well, it's hard to ship them when you don't have them :DQuote:

I've ordered from EVERY one of them - so as soon as Intel actually ships to one of them, I'm set... but that has yet to happen :(
is this one of those 8/7 at 3pm est releases or just 8/7
midnight or ?
I really believe after 6 months if they say they will have 1 million chips
something is wrong here.
They brag that they have to ability to make 27 million a quarter.
So they can't even get out 1 million since april for the new intel chips
and the bragging they have been doing?
this smells to me

Its supposed to be 1 million shiped in the next 6 weeks (although I think 8)not months. But a lot of those are going to companies like Dell. And from the looks of it starting out with only e6300/e6400/x6800.Quote:

Been rather patient with the whole thing but I am very tempted at this point to cancel the order and go with a 6700 from ClubIT. Have a working PC now but hate staring at the new one, sitting there just waiting for a processor.
If BLT is indeed buying from Ingram, they won't have them today. I suspect any stores buying from distributors won't have them today :(Quote:

I'll give Tankguys a lot of credit for his patience. I'm sure he's just as tired of the BS as everyone else.Quote:
