P.S. I am like the only 13 year old here? I ask because everyone I see here is like 16+ :stick:
I found this comment from a Monarch representative on another forum. This was posted on 6/7/2005.
"Well, latest update from my AMD rep.
We're to expect the X2 OEM chips a bit sooner than expected, but without tracking I don't want to say exactly when until this is provided to us. Retail box versions are to follow in the next couple of weeks."
There was a pricegrabber listing a couple days back for a 4800+ at $888. Turned out some guy at a computer store was selling a couple of engineering samples, but then claimed they were already sold. I think it was a sham.
I don't think you've looked at their website. They've been emailing everyday with a status update on my pre-order. They've also been updating everyone everyday on anandtech:Quote:

I wanted to let you know that I just got off the phone with our suppliers, and they said they are still showing a ship date of the 15th. I will keep checking through the week to be sure.
While we don't have any control over when this will actually arrive, rest assured, we're doing everything we possibly can to make sure it comes in on time, and I'll keep you updated if anything changes!

Persuasion is great as well as saving all the allowances you can get. I still remember my first Apple II which I did save about $2k and my parent helped in after a year of persuation (twice a day every day, nothing too long, just brief comments). That was when I was 11 back in... 85... Damn, I really did have kick ass system back than. Dual 5.25" FDD, Color CRT, Apple IIe, Homemade sound card (adlib clone I soldered up with whole lot of jumper wire), Epson LX-80 printer, what a kick ass system it was!!!! :)
Due to lack of games really... I played with basic and assembly half the time which became my job as time went on :P
BTW, back to topic. I think I am sticking to Tiger Direct. Reasonable price, shipping, no tax at my region, and I've dealt with them numerous times before with absolute satisfaction. 24x7 phone support is awesome too.
Maybe so but its still a bit unethical getting employees to go onto a site as just an enthuisast and have them sing the praises of the company they actually work for.Quote:

Not really posing.. Not only is it his screen name he does not hide the fact that he works for them.Quote:

congrats on a good decision to order from tigerdirect at an early time.:)I must say i am a bit dissapointed that monarch claims to get them first above all and have not yet??you have recieved tracking info and everything?Total guess outta the blue is monarch will get them tommorrow and hard to say who will get theirs first,heh-
p.s.-anyways monarch's will clock better:D/jk
Er I am not talking about the person with the name tankguys I am talking about the person named enragedcow! Go read the thread from the start and you will see what I mean.Quote:

OEMs began shipping though and are showing up.
And apparently they are highly allocated.
