I ordered my 1.6A from Newegg last monday and got it on wednesday. I was expecting to get a Costa Rica chip since thats what everyone said they were getting from there.
Instead i got a Malay chip and it is excellent. So far it has been stable up to 145mhz fsb on my ASUS P4266-C without any probs whatsoever. Also the price just dropped to $139 at newegg.
I'm gonna break it in a little bit longer and then try for more speed.

Thanks to all the folks at anandtech for the recommendations on this combo as i am very pleased.
