May 20th for 3000+ retail sux
I hope Newegg or ZZF bring'em a bit earlier...
hahahaha...wow...I don't think I've ever seen worse ratings! (although I haven't checked Sparco lately...)Quote:

Don't forget that Monarch will do a combo at no cost.. if you buy CPU and MB from them they will mount that chip and load the current bios, also make sure that everyhting is working.. they even send you a prepaid return label if there is a problem, the free Napster, FarCry, and Half-Life 2 is nice too.... :banana: :slobber:
Monarch set up combo
The combos have a longer lead time than when you order the components, which is not good for those that want the CPU NOW!!! :D. Anyway, I caved and ordered a 3500 Clawhammer. I will see how you guys with Vinie's do and decide if I will make a move to that this summer.Quote:

Well ... I did yesterday :D I am a bit worryed about the resseler rating though but have no choise :) Just called the guys , and ... they said my Venice 3000+ has been already shipped ! :banana: I know its hard to believe , but i realy hope its true :rolleyes: It shoud be delivered tomorow , cause i selected Overnight shipping , so maybe i will have a Venice 3000+ to play with by tomorow ? :slobber: :woot: Or maybe not ... :slap: And i realy hope my Venice is not going to be an ... Winchester CBBID :slash:Quote:

@Eldonko
On dfistreet RGone has his Sandy 3700 stable on 2915Mhz, so you have to do 2915 *1,10 = 3206,5 Mhz to get equal with your 3800.
prices in holland:
3500 boxed: € 271 (winnie boxed: € 261)
3800 boxed: € 369 (winnie boxed: € 357)
So the Venice is not much more expensive than a Winnie, just as I thought and hoped :D .
Bastards probably sent you a winnie.Quote:

I'm almost sure Gorod will receive a 3000 Winchester with stepping CBBID :fact: Why did you ordered from this Web-site ? don't you read all the Very Dissatisfied, from they Rating-history ? :fact: :stick: I hope that I'm wrong and you will get your goodtime with 3000+Venice, but I doubted
:nono: :slapass: :slap: :D
well hope you enjoy the winny, at least itll give u something to play with till venice is available and I dont mean pre order
Cmon guys, no need to make the guy feel any worse. Don't punish him for taking a chance at picking up a Venice....
I was reading the rating history and almost all complains are about some wrong price of an video card , posted with unreal low price ( Asus 6800Ultra for 136 $ i think :D ) , so i thought its not a big deal , and placed the order ... And they did shipped it today , so i gues i'l find out if its real Venice tomorow :confused: If its not ... They better refund my 29$ i payed for overnight shipping :mad: and the refund my $ i payed for this CPU . but if it's a real Venice then OFMG i will be a lucky camper ! :banana: I will post what i got from them tomorow , i promise . I hope they didnt lie and its a Venice :rolleyes:Quote:
