It is a Venice, look at the cpu picture, it's the right core so I don't think newegg is stupid enough to mistaken a winchester as venice and screw up the description and picture at the same time :D :D they still have 5 left....they are Venice!! I'm still waiting for the San Diego from Monarch, for all I know newegg might get the San Diego in stock first before anyone else does, I think I'm going to cancel the preorder on Monarch and keep an eye on newegg in the next few days!
After ordering thousands of dollars of stuff from there I'd say they're pretty good. Even with the fedexsaver your gonna get it pretty quick if it ships from the right warehouse.Quote:

I've dealt with the Egg a ton over the past few years, and they'd definitely waive the fee in case of a screwup on their part. The reason for the fee is to dissuade people from buying a CPU, seeing how far it OCs, and then returning it if it's not to their liking.Quote:

BTW, congrats Gorod! That's a sick OC -- 3GHz stable from a 1.8GHz chip.... :slobber:

LOL, Of course I live in Ga. I think that's only reason I have never tried them out. Tax bites on big orders. :shock:
Is Monarch Joe talking about the 3500 venices only?
I just noticed that on Newegg the venice core has been removed from the drop down window where it was earlier this am. Hmm.
its still there

Just want to get ready :)
Will the 1.36b bios for k8n neo2 pt work with san diego 3700+?
A lillte off topic, also ordered ocz 3200vx to go with it :D. I had the twinmoss tmII400 AA4T just died on me, had problem running it with divider thru bios but works well with A64 tweaker, does the VX has similiar issue?
Thanks.
You guys think the San Diego cores at Monarch will rise in price once they get them in stock?
I'm thinking about pre-ordering mine now...
I emailed Joe to see if he can hook me up with something but I doubt it since orders to PR default to USPS Priority Mail, but who knows? maybe he'll throw in a hat or something... :cheer:
woot, the 3500+ Venice is packed and sealed. Just waiting for fedex truck to come by and pick it up :). Newegg rocks.......i hope i get it by friday :).
