unlock the multiplier up? I thought intel hard wired them to have a certain max multi

well, if you read the AT home page, you will see ASUS found a way around multiplier locking by bios code

and there is a new stepping coming, but that was in the pipes before the ASUS 0507 bios

replaced steppings cpu are not priced lower to clean out inventory, 99.9% of consumers dont even know what a stepping is.

If they come thru (for more than 1 person), I will be shocked.
However, they even advertise the resllrat site on that E6300 page
And it does say full 3 yr warranty

maybe pigs CAN fly.

if so, I say hot deal

It would look that way (at least one person has gotten their stuff)...but that IS just one person...

Monday bump, although I think all the mail carriers are closed today. Just curious.

I got my AM2 3500+ retail for only $70 and their last ASUS x700pro for only $50!!!. Asus box looked opened before- DVI adapter wasn't inside- but the card looks unbagged.
overall damn good deal. $120 charged to my amex blue. Note- one box shipped from Florida, the other New York.

Wow, if you're paying $175 or $220 for a processor you can afford $14 more to buy from ZZF free shipping and know you aren't getting ripped off and getting a brand new product...

You can probably afford it but why would you when you could save the 14 dollars. How are you getting ripped off?

This place has free shipping too.

I'll tell you how. Go to intel's site here, and look at the retailers they list. I buy from ZZF or Newegg or one of those places, I'm guaranteed that it's a new part I'm paying for. I purchase it from random shop #15, I have no way to tell that these are new or that they aren't returns from failed OCing or something and if they are and I buy it from random shop #15 I have no way to prove to Intel that it wasn't me who overclocked it and killed it. I feel that assurance is worth $14. They claim they are authorized, but has anyone bothered to send Intel an email and check their status? If not you're taking a big gamble.
