Wk 27 and wk 28 both have been clocking good but its still luck of the draw no matter which week you get.

the ewiz deal i posted earlier (froogle reference, $337 shipped for me, might be less depending on shipping) is the same price, so it comes down to ewiz vs ZZF as far as quality and what week, etc

i chose ewiz becuase they had the deal 4 days earlier. now, i think id choose zipzoomfly, doesnt much matter thouhg

fry's SOCAL have SMOOOKIN Conroe deals this weekend.

e6300+ECSP4M800PRO$199

However I can't think of a worse way to handicap a Conroe, lol... single channel DDR/DDR2 support, VIA chipset with no pci lock.

e6400+DS3$379
x6800+P5WDH$1299

i ordered my e6600 from mwave.com on tuesday and got my chip yesterday.

I think its our board, I picked up one last week It booted higer because it may be a better chip, but it topped out in all the same areas as my week 27. It even required the exact same voltage for 3.6ghz to be stable. I held onto the chip just in case they become scarce later. But for now I'm doing so research to find a better board. Though I'm tempted to just order another P5W DH from tankguys since he has the new ones with the 1.85mch.

I saw the 68MAG board there too which is suppose to have the 1.85vmch but I didnt pick it up. I will try it on this board first to see if the cpu improve. If I see definite lower vcore needed or higher oc; I'll come back to get that board.

YES my E6600 is in. I didnt know outpost had Next Day Shipping: Saturday shipping.

My Stepping: L628A380 :D i cant wait to run this
