Q9450 OEM in stock at TankGuys $360

[pauldovi]

TankGuys is the first US retailer to have the Q9450 available.

TankGuys says he has more Q9450's than pre-orders, so there is stock available for purchases now. Price is a little steep, but what do you expect.... I wonder what Newegg will charge!

E8400 / E3100 / Q9450 UPDATE - 3/25/2008

Finally, the shipment has arrived. It was delayed by two days, but was dropped of early this morning. We will be opening/repacking today/tonight, so orders will ship tomorrow. There are still some of all of these chips available, so feel free to order, even if you don't have an existing pre-order. Pre-order units will ship tomorrow as well, as long as you have completed payment.

Edit: As far as I know, this means we're the first store in the US to have availability on the Q9450. Not too bad

It's all luck of the draw, so get the cheaper one. As for the Q9450, you can get the boxed X3350 for less money then they're charging for the OEM.

yup .. i know . i am getting the e3110 i think... alltough im afraid if i get a dfi dk p35 it wont recognize it prior to a bios update..

It may not. Can you get the place you order it from to do the bios update. How much more is the DK X38?

[vcp-cur]

at newegg.com

dk p35 = $ 140 ... dk x38 = $195

[PhilDoc]

Yea, I just looked it up. You could save a little on the X38 at mbpro. Do you have access to a 65nm cpu?

I wonder what Newegg will charge!

probably $340-350
they are charging $300 for a Q9300

I don't know .. maybe ... lol it would suck to get it and it wouldnt work ..

i have to check out for people who have it ..

if you go to newegg ... and look at the p34 dk , the 1st costumer review is from someone that got it together with an e8400 .. i hope you know what i mean..

I have no doubt it'll work with the e8400 or e3110. I just dont know if a bios upgrade will be needed. Maybe go to the DFI forum and ask.

but yes, ill check dfi forums

Where can you get a X3350?

There are several places in this thread. Dont know if they still have any, but with coupon one place was $325.

Very nice. You should test those out for us and then let us know which are the pick of the litter .

[vcp-cur]

wow !!

Holy batwings!!

[my87csx481]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said the same thing....almost .

So please let me get this straight: Any socket 775 board that supports 45nm/1333fsb will recognize/run/support Xeon E3110 even if it's not officially supported???

Or is it more like should?

Sorry for bein' a noob. I don't know much of anything about Xeon on a desktop board. Thanks for your patience and help.

Note to self " take tongue off monitor screen and wipe dribble off keyboard" lol pm sent for us poor quad core starved europeans :P

Some desktop boards (like mine) even have the E3110 on their supported processors list. You should be fine with any board, though.
