When do the new 800FSB get released in Canada?

[Amistad]

Hello I am in the process of building a new computer and I am going to wait a few weeks (from what I have heard) that is when the new P4's come out which have the 800FSB (other then the 3.00GHZ which is already available) Does anyone know exact dates? I am in canada (not sure if it matters, maybe a different release date), also will the prices be comparable to its equivilant processor (example: P4 2.53GHZ @533FSB to a P4 2.53GHZ @800FSB)?

Thanks.

My local supplier in Ottawa told me 2 -3 weeks.

As for the speed there's no 2.5ghz because of the 200mhz fsb it uses;the chips will be 2.4ghz 2.6ghz 2.8ghz 3.0ghz.

Do you know how the prices will compare to there current counterparts? (example 2.6GHZ 533FSB to the 2.6GHZ 800FSB)

Also I am building a computer right now and is it worth waiting for the 800FSB or will the difference be so minimal I might as well just purchase the 2.6GHz with a 533FSB?

What do you mean the 2.5GHZ has a 200MHz FSB i thought it was a 533FSB?

Thanks.

Hello, Are you in Calgary? I know they have the 3.0GHZ 800MHz FSB are available in Calgary, Its really exprensive $699.95 (canadian) I was going to wait until the cheaper processors come out such as the 2.4, 2.6, 2.8GHZ with a 800FSB. Any idea whn these come out in Calgary?

Thanks

Memory Express has all 3 today (Monday) apparently:

BX80532PG2400D Pentium 4 2.40C GHz 512K 800FSB w/ Hyper-Threading $ 299.95
BX80532PG2600D Pentium 4 2.60C GHz 512K 800FSB w/ Hyper-Threading $ 359.95
BX80532PG3000D Pentium 4 3.00 GHz 512K 800FSB w/ Hyper-Threading $ 699.95

Quite tempted to change my plans of getting an Athlon 2500+ Barton w/ A7N8X Deluxe and get a P4C800 with 2.40C instead, except that it would cost another $200 ($100 extra for the cpu and mainboard each, ouch).

Seeya.

P.S. any of you guys here in Calgary know of any retailers (online in Canada or in the city) that sell 120mm Panaflo or Papst fans?

Where did you see 800fsb Intel chips at bigfoot?

I only see AMD chips being sold there.

They have all of them listed as in stock, but I don't know if they really have them. Kind of expensive, I'll wait a week or two...

Oops, Memory Express took off the 2.4C and 2.6C earlier today, I guess they didn't have many (or any) in stock afterall.

Looks NCIX has the 3ghz 800fsb there for sale.
