shopblt always does this. i.e. after hours it will show server down.

but sparco.com live availability says they have 296 e6420 in california, so i guess you can order from them.

Terrific item if it's anything like the ES I have.

AFAIK they aren't supposed to be selling them until the 22nd.

 

[yacoub]

[Imported]

Ordered.. hoping it comes in tomorrow!

These types of companies prey on the impatient by tricking them into ordering. Once they have your order, you'll find that your CPU won't ship until around the official release date.

i just got a call and a recent email confirmation stating my E6420 is shipping out today and should be here Friday (as per my 2-day shipping choice).

new theory?

I got a call and confirmation too that it'll ship out today.. I ordered Next Day shipping however.. One of the few places I've bought from that let me charge the shipping to my employer..

Hopefully it comes tomorrow.. cause I'm dying to setup my new PC!

 

[harbin]

mine will be shipped tomorrow.

What's the difference between this and the E6600? The E6600 will be right around the same price starting on 4/22, and it runs at 2.4GHz.

 

[Shimmishim]

no difference except 6420 is top locked 8x while 6600 is 9x.

Any reason an 8x multi would be better? I'm planning on some overclocking, but I want to keep it as near to silent as possible, so I'm not trying to push it to the extreme.

Um, but wouldn't it make sense to get them after the price-cuts take effect?

I'm impatient..

as Imported said... I'm impatient, but also I needed to buy now, I was looking to the Xeon 3050 until this came out at the last minute. I sold my CPU and also already had the other stuff ready to be ordered. Got the DFI too, it was posted on Newegg at the last minute.

 

[harbin]

got the tracking #, will arrive this weekend.

 

[hawksballer]

How likely is it that the price will be @183 on the 23nd? I have been holding off building my new computer for over a month now waiting on the 6420 and I can wait 11 more days if I can get it for sure for $183 on the 23rd....
