for those of you looking for this chip(and can't wait for the price drop ) Micorcenter has the retail (boxed) version for 162.99. Better than the Egg and ZFF by $15 or so.

I bought this processor from them on Wed and its apparently at the house right now. Pretty darn fast process/shipping time! My first experience with microcenter and I am impressed.

not bad, but tax and shipping kills it for me. $177.15 total, when i can get it for $165.00 shipped overnight for me atleast, since they are only like 300 miles away.

I'm not familiar with that vendor - have you ordered from them without problems?

Edit: Nevermind, noted your recent positive experience from an earlier Conroe thread.

why would you get this when a 6300 is $5 more??

Higher multiplier, so you can get to higher clock speeds with motherboards that have limited FSB ability.
