I ordered 2 Athlon MP 1.2's last week from an online retailer who said they had them in stock. They called back a couple of days later to say that the processors were back ordered. Does anyone know of any suppliers that have them in stock and will ship to the Great White North (Canada)?

Does anyone know where I can order a couple AMD 1.2GHz MP processors in Canada? Or a place that will ship to Canada. Newegg won't ship outside the US. Thanks
