Doesn't say that on their site ... for in store returns which means I can print it out and show it to them.

Some people say burning in works, some people say its rubbish.

In general burning in is where the CPU supposedly does not overclock very well at first, but then over time people can overclock higher and higher.

Due to changing room temperatures? Due to the electrons "burning in" the paths in the CPU? Something else? You decide..

I'd say don't worry too much about it.

Well, it would appear that Newegg now has the OEM 3000+ Venice for $155 + $3.99 shipping

Give it time.
The same thing happened when the Winnie came out. I mean, Newegg yesterday was charging $311 for the Venice 3500+ and $260 for the Winnie 3500+.

Looks like today that one dropped down to $289, still $18 more than when I first saw it on their site.

Funny thing about Newegg's price fluctuation on the 3500+ is that its sister site Chiefvalue.com has been maintaining a steady $272 price with free shipping. Go figure.

Heh I wonder if NewEgg has a algorithm based on how much stock they have to set the price.

ps: Monarch do ships for International, but they don't want no VISA or MASTER, or any credit-card :nono: you have to file your order, and then ask for a International quote request form, once they give you the quote number, then you have to go to a Western-Union office,(near your place) and do the cash transfer, once they got the money, they will shipping out your order right away :slobber: :toast:

Yeah and the $30 processing fee + $85 shipping. overkilling. :slobber:

We don't know when we'll have the Venice core. It has been released by AMD but our suppliers haven't stocked it so we're not able to get it.

I am running out of patience. arrrrhhahrhrhrr. lol.

My 3700+ arrived from Monarch yesterday. That bad boy is now priming the hell out of itself at stock for a few hours, if all goes well I'm going to start OCing it!

Damn, if I had waited one more day, I could have gotten the retail 3000+ and saved $10! How is the thermaltake silent boost?

I believe they do AND it is also based on the number of stock alerts they get. So if a n item is in high demand and everyone wants the egg to email them when they get stock, well the eg gknows how many people want it and adjust the price accordingly before it even comes in... This is all speculative though...

Ummmm, two things:
1. The earliest you're gonna see a ddr2 amd board is next year and
2. Current cpu's won't be compatible with those boards since they'll require a different pin-layout.....
