AMD's "official" price in units of 1000 is now $278 after the recent price drop, I believe. I wouldn't expect prices to go up much unless a shortage in supply arises (that or retailers just figure they can overcharge for them just because they're popular)

I haven't heard anything that indicates they're unlocked. I would be pretty surprised if they were.

Woot! Props to Monarch for not having real time inventory and props to me for ordering a combo which probably delayed my oder a day.
Just got this.
"Thank you for your recent order with Monarch Computer! You placed an order for an Opteron 165 processor. We received an overwhelming response to the processor, which quickly depleted our existing inventory. Unfortunately, we have just been informed by AMD directly that there was a manufacturing issue that occurred on this particular processor. AMD does not expect to have stock on this processor until the end of this month, and that may change depending on the manufacturing process. We do apologize immensely for this, and would like to offer you an AMD gift bag of items to go along with your processor once they are available for shipping again. If you have any questions, please do no hesitate to reply back to this email. Be sure to include your order number in any correspondence back. Please check our website for the most up to date ETA on the processor, and if there are any developments that will cause any more delays we will update you."
Spectacular! So much for getting an early stepping. :thumbsup: But, hey, I can wait a month or two and get an black XXL AMD t-shirt and case badge. :roll:

And now this:
"Update!
Shortly after we sent our last email to you, AMD contacted us to let us know that they were able to get a partial shipment of the OEM Opteron 165 processors out to us. (Enough to cover our existing orders) We are expecting these to arrive shortly, so we WILL be able to ship these chips out to you much sooner than expected. I do apologize for the confusion, but I wanted to inform you as quickly as possible of the recent development.
Thank you,
Monarch Computer Systems, Inc."
I had just sent an email to cancel my order. :roll:

Same thing happened to me Hero. Except I didn't get that second email saying that they had one to cover mine! Do you know anyone that has them?

:Q:Q
I just lost out on orders to both Mwave and Monarch. One cancelled outright the other says hopefully by the end of the month. Anyone know any other sources for 165s? The 170 is just too much for too little, relatively speaking.
The real questions is regarding AMDs new pricing. Why are there so few retailers updating their prices? Do they have tons of stock purchased at the higher price and simply refuse to lower the price untill gone, or is the market generally gouging. Newegg in particular has pretty High turnover, so I can't figure why they are still selling the 165 for almost $500!!!
Oh, well, avian flew here, aids epidemic there, a war going nowhere, and strugles all around. This isn't exactly important in the grand scheme of things, but damit I have two preciouse weeks off before my new job starts and I want to blow it playing with my darn toys!
Whhhhaaaa!
end tantrum.
