Has anyone found the new Conroe processors in stock at any on-line retailers? I just checked NewEgg and they're still not even listed on the site.

Your best bet with NewEgg is to start checking on the 7th in the monring and keep checking throughout the day.

I plan on using my second monitor at work for that sole purpose. I will have Firefox refreshing a serach for "E6600" every 30 seconds. And as soon as I see it pop up I am buying it ASAP.

There have already been sporadic shipments from ZZF, ClubIT and TD.

It's rumored that Fry's also has lots of Conroes in stock.

I'm sure Newegg also has a bunch of them but they've avoided going the pre-order route.

The floodgates officially open on 8/7 when Intel lifts the shipment embargo. They did it to provide time to "prime" the channel and get everyone at the "starting gate" at the same time.

Monday will be interesting!!

I have received emails for Newegg, ZZF, and TigerDirect. Newegg will have them in stock on 8/7, ZipZoomFly 8/7, TigerDirect 8/8. At least that's what the emails said.

e6300, e6400, e6600, e6700, and x6800 are all in stock. e6400 is only $249, which is only $25 over msrp, which i don't think is all that bad considering most other places are asking $279. They weren't supposed to ship till the 7th, but they started shipping early - mine is en route to my apartment right now.

Doesnt show in stock for the e6600's for me....

Only thing we need is a motherboard that doesn't cost $200+ especially for people who don't need SLI. That is just freakn crazy. I am waiting for nforce chipset boards to come out.

There's plenty of mobo's that are under 200. the gigabyte DS3 for example.

I'll probably be waiting for Newegg gets them and pay extra for fast shipment.

Gigabyte DS3 is $150 on Newegg but I would wait for the NF500's to come out. I really don't want an Intel chipset. You get more for your money with Nvidia. I imagine that a lot of people will be bailing on the Intel chipsets come the end of the month.

How can you say that mobos that haven't been released yet will give you a better value? They might be crap that will cost more. They will probably benefit from the extra time to mature but please don't make sweeping statements about products that don't exist yet.
