OOOPS.... REPOST

Wow. Don't really need a new processor though. (Plus Fry's only ships with DHL last I checked, which really screws me over.)

When you get your CPU's I would REALLY appreciate it if you report back and say if it is indeed Retail boxed
And..........if it is new E0 or old C0 stepping

as far as stepping goes I will see when it arrives. prob the C0 though knowing my luck

 

[Tempered81]

wow Insanely hot. 139 for E8400 retail box. IF it's an E0 then, INSANE!

 

[skywhr]

The OEM Model code is EU80570PJ0806M

 

[manimal]

Do a online buy with instore pickup if you have a frys near by, if the first processor they bring you at the human-monkey- Loss prevention cage is the old stepping then send it back till you get a new one, Frys gets a ton of shipments of everything thing so odds are they have newer and older chips.

Nah, just wait for nehalem, unless you are doing high end stuff - its all about the cache.
The benches would be higher - but thats not real world
Of course, If you make good money and $140 is peanuts, then why not?

 

[skywhr]

Nehalem will be released in late 2008 for high-end desktop and dual-processor platforms[3] and in Q4 2009 to Q1 2010 for mainstream desktop and mobile platforms?

 

[skywhr]

got mine today, its the new stepping

 

[optoman]

I also got mine today and is E0, shipped from ohio.

 

[skywhr]

[Tempered81]

[Bigbassfrank]

That's what sux. No Fry's in Ohio, but I still get to pay sales tax because of that damn wharehouse.

 

[Bozo Galora]

This is good to know, I can buy from Fry's pretty much without worrying about getting old steppings
So that was a hot deal afterall

 

[khurios2000]
