Morning guys,

Yep if you dont know by now, I scooped up the P4 3.2 EE that Pluscorp were able to get thier hands on. It has been pretty exciting for me. Being a part of history is a pretty good buzz. These are the first of thier kind to be released and hopefully this starts of a new trend for high end Intel chips :thumbup:

The courier went to the house nextdoor by accident and by 9:40 the cpu was in my hands. Ive opened her up and was greeted to not an ugly orange box, but a nice looking Blue and Black box







Its a bloody Costa Rica - but the last Costa I had was an aweeeeesome 2.4 the SL6Z3, which kinda leads you to believe that those 2.4 were based on the EE if they were boxed at same joint but lets not go there Nice recent pack date also of 10 November and the build week is 33.

The heatsink I think is just a normal 3.0/3.2C default HS. It doesnt have the black tim on it like usual, but a piece of that clear grey rubber stuff on the base, which is copper for a small section of cpu contact area




It came with a nice shiny EE sticker. I remember someone asked if they could have it. Well Im going to have to say NO cos I thought it would be a simple P4 sticker but nah its a special EE one as can be seen here;




My dilema now is this guys. Do I waste it and put it in the IS7 now for some quick testing? Or do I quickly duck out and grab a MAX3? The Asus is on RMA and looks like it might be another week, and I was tempted to maybe try an Abit again.....3 votes and Ill go and grab one....my vote is already 1 so 2 more needed :thumbup:


Id like to say thanks to Pluscorp - Nigel in particular - for taking the effort and time to look for this cpu as soon as they landed. Without them this cpu would not be in my hands and for this I thank you.

To all the others, if I hear one comment that even remotely hints at the costs or anything along that line, the post will be reported and I will get very upset with you.....just some respect thats all I ask that you dont sour my thread or my excitement

Now, with all of that out of the way I can go and have my morning cup of tea and then Ill probably duck over and grab the MAX3 :thumbup:

Cheers guys
