Would you wait in line for Conroe? Some stores in Japan began selling Core 2 Duo at midnight last night. At one PC store, 150 people waited in line before the midnight opening.

OMG lol, oh yeah i would wait in line :D
*Edit: Those girls are also hot!
It's like waiting on line for a PS2. I remembered that line was huge.
Lookin' good for Intel:)
What girls?
And it seems Chipzilla is providing the sweet lovin!
the girls look great, but i dunno about the core 2 duo boxes. they need to put some money in the design department. but lol, I can't believe the hype surronding this core 2duo processor. it's getting ridicoluos.
that is kinda disturbing.. 10 dollars says that atleast 50% of the guys in that line have never gotten laid..
who care's, if you can get a fast cpu ?? :slap: what the hell i'm saying here :slapass:Quote:

You would NEVER see people in the US waiting in line for a CPU. Hell, 80% dont even know what a CPU is.
Japan is soo far ahead :shrug:
The question is did they come for the girls or for the chips?

^ chipz, they wont get the girlz anyway..
I'll take the girls cause I can't afford a new mobo. :P
True however it would be alot more fun to Benchmark those girls. See how much they can take before they Bluescreen and pass out :DQuote:

I'd take the left one :P
I was thinkin the same, i love the Core 2 Extreme's Box!, but the Core 2 Duo box needs a more appealing design, i could do something better in photoshop :PQuote:

...and yes, I understand that's coming from a guy with a ditzy (former) momusu chick as his avy, 'cause I know that's comin'. ;)

Monarch says maybe by August 31st. At least the people standing in line in Japan probably got their CPU's. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if some of those people in line were fetching CPU's for their bosses.
Correct and right now it is 7am and they were supposed to be available by midnight:rolleyes: Intel Pulls another Paper launchQuote:

No signs of E6600/E6700 yet. ETA ~ 10 days :-(

Paper Launch.... bastages
NewEgg is sucking... at least ZZF had the E6300... i'd like to be in Japan :D
Not entirely accurate. The processors are now available, just not in the US.Quote:

Sure, and another survey shows that Japanese fishermen catch the smallest fish in the world.
Ya know it's just that the other countries have long-standing traditions to tell lies about the size of their fish, among other things.
The guy catches a minnow and reports a whale. You never hear a Greek or French fisherman say, "I couldn't even catch any worms today."
ncix has a line up today I think they had a couple in vancouver
