What about all the rumors though? They have to be true dont they?

What about this? http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/inte...D2.asp?SRCCODE=WEBGOOC2D&CMP=KNC-GOOGL

 

[Somerandomdude]

They uh... made a typo. Its supposed to say 3am. Right....

 

[soydios]

If the processors aren't released tonight, I'll be opening up www.tigerdirect.com at work at 12-noon PST with credit card in hand.

 

[swtethan]

10 mins til midnight

 

[epik775]

Is everyone just taking a shot in the dark here, or did someone actually hear that Newegg would start selling at midnight?

 

[soydios]

:disgust:

 

[secretanchitman]

4 more minutes....was playing some ut2k4 heh heh.

 

[soydios]

How funny would that be if none of the websites put up Conroe tonight...it would only make me even more acutely aware of my nerdiness. I can imagine what it'll be like in 5 minutes: "It's 12:01am, and Conroe isn't in stock! OMG the sky is falling!!1!" And then either the website updates, and we are happy, or no websites update, and we are sad/angry/tired.

 

[Somerandomdude]

Auctually there is a genocidal maniac out there attempting to kill every f5 button on the planet, he convinced us this is the release date so now we are madly hammering away on the f5 button in the hope newegg launches c2d @ 12:01

 

[soydios]

I'll give it until 12:30am. Then I'm calling it quits, but I'll check before leaving for work, when I get to work, and every 15 minutes at work.

 

[rklaver]

ditto

 

[us3rnotfound]

oh bummuh

 

[aggressor]

It was a long shot anyway I guess I'm waiting until the 8th

Though I expected to see the x6800 out in force...yet nobody has those either.

 

[Fishbone Walker]

ZZF has them!








not really. go to bed.

 

[soydios]

Newegg and ZipZoomFly have been automatically refreshing once every minute for the last 2 hours. I have no life. I know.

 

[JoeFahey]

You are so cruel. *whimper*

Screw it, I'm tired, Intel/Newegg/ZZF have let me down, I'll order it tomorrow from work.
It was fun bonding with all you other fellow nerds who have no lives.

*laugh*

I'm gonna be checking Newegg and ZZF every 30 minutes until 12:30am tonight.

i just installed the "reload every" extension for firefox. you set each individual tab/page to reload at 10 sec,30 sec, 1m, 5m, etc...haha, so i have zzf and newegg set to 30 seconds.

lol
