Never do business with a company that does not have a customer service number. Bottom line, I don't care if they sell C2D for a $.025 because if something goes wrong you are stuck paying the the bill.

I noticed they raised the price $20 from where I bought it. I don't think you'll be seeing E6600 processors for $319 shipped like some here seem to think. :)

I sure hope they really had the retail E6600's in their warehouse when they claimed they were instock.

I'll know by Monday.

If "in stock" included promises of future shipments from disti I'll be pretty pissed off at them.

A 965 board and the E6400 may be the thing to own if you are looking for bang for your buck. They are OCing like mad and often passing up E6600s and E6700s. (On air)

Did everyone that ordered a Conroe from Mwave get it yet? I ordered Weds night and it was on the door step Fri morning;) If I did not order the MSI mobo I would be testing it in the DS3 I have here in the box. However if the MSI does not work out I will use the DS3.

The fact that you quoted me led me to believe that your post was directed to/at me. I just want to make it clear that what I said was pure sarcasm and that I don't believe that Intel is deliberately delaying availability of any C2Ds.

IMO it 's a very simple matter of very high demand and limited supply for now. Sure I would have liked to be able to order a E6400 from Newegg for $224 on the 27th and have it ship the same day but I'm a realist. I was impatient to get one so I paid $250 from ClubIT and had to wait until 8/5 for it to ship. I'm thrilled to get a dual core CPU for less than half of what AMD was charging for similar performance and less OC potential just a few weeks ago. I'm not complaining that I had to wait a few extra days for it.

Has it ocurred to you that the price gouging is comming from resellers that have already bought the product from Intel???

By Intel trying to delay the release to 8/7 they are accomplishing the exact oposite. Giving time to prime the channel and get all the players at the starting gate at the same time. That minimizes price gouging.

Shees, no-one has any concept of HVM. New products are always a ramp vs. a step function. C2D is the fastest ramp in their history, however they have to supply the entire planet. Intel doesn't have some big switch they throw that magically transforms Pentiums into Conroes.

Way to take my utterly sarcastic post entirely out of context. Had you read my previous post and the post to I was replying, you would have understood that we are in agreement on this issue.

Maybe I don't use enough emoticons for the thread speed readers? :confused:

ZipZoomFly has the E6300 in-stock and shipping. They took away the *pre-order shipping on monday* thing. Since it is the weekend and the only day they ship is on Monday-Friday anyways. Better get yours now before they get sold-out. only $219!

Agree. Yeah if you think about it, If you were a retailer and selling unauthorized prior to Aug 7th (with a demand to supply advantage artifically induced by intels mandate) would you sell cheaply? Hell no, they are breaking a rule with clear knowledge they have an edge against other retailers who are not breaking Intel's decree. Of course they will charge extra. Haha.

I just know the prices are going to return to baseline very quickly. You know extreme overclockers and first adopters are not exactly the majority in the CPU biz. I bet their is more than enough Conroes out there to supply this sliver of the entire market.

At the same time the neweggs and zzfs of the world are not catering to the oem market. Their prices reflect what the first adopter market will bear so I wouldn't expect to see prices go down soon if at all.

We'll see on Monday. Any store who is able to buy direct from Intel may have a bunch, but anyone who is stuck buying from *any* of the distributors won't. Not one single distributor has any of these in stock, in any warehouse :(

I dont see why its such a big deal, none of the boards that are out now are really worth getting..

The good boards seem to be comming out in two weeks to another month or so...

Any idea on when newegg will sell them? They told me monday, but is that at midnight, or whenever the truck delivers them?

Bump: Tigerdirect told me they are getting the e6600 on the 10th, and newegg said they may get it in on the 8th

Hey guys i'm just about to be done with my Conroe based system and the only thing I need to order is a video card. Can any of you recommend me a 7600GT at various retailers for less than say $170
