Ok... wtf is going on guys. I just got an email saying it was delayed.

The email said most probably delayed with the forum posting a 1% chance of getting it by Monday. Hey, its better than the lottery. We need to wait to hear from them to see what this means.

Is there any way to tell what stepping you get by looking at the heatsink? I punched in some #s and leters on mine and got this.

Still can not tell what stepping it is:confused:

I got this CPU from Mwave.

All the other speeds at Tank Guy's shows back ordered.
Probably just a mistake.

All retails right now are B2. The others were Engineering samples.

Oh ok, so you can't tell if you get a good one from looking at the heatsink like you could on the AMDs?

Is there a difference in performance from the 2mb to 4mb Cache on the Conroes?

It's just our (very annoying) software. Lately, it's been randomly setting the Quantity to "1" for various Conroes. This is a bug I've noticed before with heavily backordered items. It's driving me crazy :slapass:

If our site says they are in stock, but there is still the "pre order" info below, just ignore it. Very annoying!

Well seeing how it did not look like to me that BLT would be getting the E6600's in today I cancelled my order, took a leap of faith, and ordered a 6700 from Clubit. O and fyi don't fat finger the spelling and put in clubtit... they dont sell processors there :p

Got my FedX tracking number tonight. Chip will be here Tuesday.

To be honest though I kinda feel for places like BLT, TankGuys, etc. Most of them are honest places and are only telling the customer what they are told from Distributors, yet we can see how pissed people get with them when the dates get pushed out.

Think if it was me I wouldn't take pre orders :p

That's absurd. It's a simple matter of very high demand and limited supply. Do you expect Intel to tell Dell that they can't have any Conroes until ScottFern gets his?

The thing that disturbs me, is I ordered an E6600 (retail) from Clubit on July 27. When I placed the order it was in stock. I emailed them yesterday and they said "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" That to me means it actually wasn't in stock. Has anyone received an E6600 Retail from Clubit yet?

I wonder where these eBay sellers are getting them?
I see one eBay seller has 10 retail e6600's "in stock and ready to ship".

You obviously didn't do very well in english class. It's the deliberate process of slow release with the conroes that pisses me off. There is no reason for such short supply. There has been no material shortages or manufacturing issues. Besides everyone and their mother was saying oh Intel launches are always very good with lots of stock.

Yea Intel is definately shipping out e6600 and the e6700 at a slow rate to be :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:s. They made us wait 2 weeks to supposedly "allow retailers to have stocks and keep prices even" when now they are screwing with us. Why wait around to give the masses what they demand and beat around the bush with chips we don't want. We all aren't made of money and can't buy a e6300/6400 to hold us off until Intel decides to stock e6600/6700. This really sucks HARD.

Does anybody have any experience with order cancellations from MonarchComputers?

They said it'll be 15-30 days till i'm credited back to my account but I hope to god that isn't true. Please tell me it isn't true (I don't want to wait 15-30 days to finish my PC just because of this damn cancellation).

Tell them they shouldnt have taken the money since they didnt ship the item. Request an IMMEDIATE refund. Ive done that in the past with monarch.. They had given me the run around until they were told i would be faxing over a letter from my attorney that afternoon. Whola, instant credit! they try to hold the 15-30 day bs so they dont get a certain amount of charges doing single cancellations from their CC service. Its cheaper for them to do mass cancellation/refunds with their vendor at one time.

Exactly, the money should have been on hold not withdrawn. In Addition, taking only 1-3 business days for it to clear upon cancellation

You obviously didn't do very well in economics or business. But, there's no point in arguing with someone who has it all figured out.

Intel is deliberately slowing the release of Conroes to drive the prices up. No other possible explanations could possibly exist. Kudos for brilliantly exposing Intel's sleazy Conroe price gouging scheme...

I doubt any high prices are a result of anything Intel did at all, most likey just the stores that you are buying from are raising the price due to lack of supply.

Thanks Haltech, didn't know if it was possible for them to speed up the process. I called today and had quite an attitude with the guy who I spoke to because I asked him if there was anything they could do to speed up the process and he said no, at the end of the call I politely said "Thank you for your crappy service" and hung up.

I'll call back tommorrow and tell them to credit it back to my account immediately or I will be faxing a letter to my attourney about how they took out the payment before shipping.

Lighten up Francis. It's a computer chip, not the end of the world.

Want one of my three Conroes? Happy to help out... :D
