3.0 Ghz quad is pretty impressive, but a little pricey. I had read that the E8600 was going to retail for $266 so they've got it at $26 over retail. I guess you pay a price if you want to be an early adapter.

Are those in stock?

Did you click the links? Yes, they are in stock

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

did they confirm this over the phone?

 

[sofarfrome]

Ordered and paid for 2nd day delivery so will let you know Tuesday

I think I'll wait till Aug 10, when the price will be $266 (or lower)
IMHO the only real reason to get an 8600 in the present time frame is to be sure of an E0 stepping

Cool. I'm only skeptic cause I've called places before when a site advertised the item as in stock and when I called to confirm, they said: "No..." so...

I'd definitely be interested in a Q9650

 

[sofarfrome]

So call them on Monday and verify it is in stock and order one if it is.

yah E0 stepping w/ 10x multi spells danger.

5ghz air

I guess we need to create a new forum called "New Deals".

and you have your Q9650?

Why would people buy the E8600 when it's 2x more expensive than the E8400 for a mere 300mhz increase?

Because E8600 overclocks much higher than E8400.

Picked up a E8600 using MS live search for $216.98 after 25% cashback. Mwave had it listed on ebay. I was going to get a E8500, but got tired of waiting for any price drops below $190. Figured I would spend a little more and get the best.
