Well.. sail across the pond to the new land and you'll find stores here are rather courteous...

Hey a 3.8GHz E8400 is not too shabby. At least you won't have to pay the electricity bill we quad core owners do just for gig...

I guess my P5B Deluxe can't take the stress of the 266 strap at such a high FSB, and my CPU just can't run that high
I guess you can't do too much with that VID, but 3.4GHz is not too much of a drop (real world performance-wise) and should be within your reach. BTW what's your batch #/pack date?
