tank guys just sent me this following email about my e6600 that i have back ordered from them...
Hello Everyone-
It?s been about a week since the last update, so here is the latest information we have about the Conroe pre-orders.
ETA Information
E6300s
All existing pre-orders have been filled!
E6400s
About half of the existing pre-orders have been filled, the other half should all be filled by the end of this week. We?ve got enough arriving Tuesday/Wednesday to fill the rest of the orders. We may be off by a processor two, so people at the very end of the list may have wait a bit longer, but in general, these should be wrapped up soon.
E6600s
Considering this is what ~90% of you are waiting for, it makes it even harder for me to tell you we still don?t know about these. A few of our suppliers are still saying they will have these available for us this week ? but then again, we?ve heard that story a few times now. As should be evident by now, our suppliers are just not giving us any useful ETA information, because apparently, Intel isn?t giving them any information. The best way I can describe the E6600 situation is ?shocking confusion.? A few stores have had a few of these now, but as many of you have noticed, those prices were less than appealing. Most stores haven?t seen any yet, nor have any of the Tier 1 distributors. These are just completely missing from the distribution channels. We?re doing the absolute best we can to get these, but it?s neigh impossible to do so. Of course, I completely understand the frustration many of you are feeling about this, and I really DO feel for you ? and we?re doing everything in our power to get this as soon as humanly possible. At this moment though, I still cannot give you a definite ship date.

Things look a bit more appealing here ? this week is possible, but we don?t know for sure yet. We?ll keep you guys posted when we find out for sure.
