I can't confirm this (because where I work is blocking the link), but I found the deal at Slickdeals.net. Thought this might be a good deal for those on the fence. If this deal isn't a deal, then I apologise and the mods can make my insides tapica pudding.

Checked the forums and, as of 5:30pm, the deal was still going....

[Capitalizt]

[killster1]

[Nessism]

I'm in. What's the chance this will go through?

 

[Kwint Sommer]

Comes out as $200 plus shipping for me.

$200 here

edit: now $140

 

[spinejam]

WOW!

For everyone that's having trouble getting the correct price, try the link below from Slickdeals.com...when I tried it $140 was the price.

AMAZINGLY HOT DEAL at $140...the E7200 is selling for virtually the same price with 1/2 the cache and a 500MHz clock deficiency.

Extremely Hot

so how does this compare with the Q6600? I have a 680i board that does NOT support quad core so I'm leaning towards this guy but how does the performance compare to the Q6600?

 

[Kwint Sommer]

Wow that's hot!

I'm tempted to pick up a few and relist them on ebay....

Well, its a dual core not a quad, but quite a few get to 4 gigs pretty easy. Nice chips. The slickdeals link works, but after tax and ground shipping its $161 for me. Great deal tho OP

Apparently when you buy 5, shipping is free.

If you're a gamer, then the e8400 fits the ticket.
Otherwise the q6600 fits the bill if you're a heavy multi-tasker.

Does any one know this can be a store pick-up?
I have one store nearby where I live, Plano,TX.
Man, at this price it's so tempting...

Does 680i support these newer cpu's?

Thanks Mod for making this subject very easy. I noticed I posted this deal 4 minutes after the Capitalizt posted. If I wasn't already gaming on one right now, I'd jump on this thing. I honestly groaned when I saw the price. Though I've had mine for about 5 months now. So I guess losing $10/month isn't too bad.

 

[rothchilds]

damm I just bought one for $190 and it already shipped.

 

[trevor0323]

(Christopher Walken) I mean WOW, this deal is so hot!
Lol I ordered two, one two replace my old e2180 and one for my buddy whos running a single core celly on his Abit IP35E, Im guessing he will be pleased with this minor upgrade

 

[curjohn]

Thanks for the information, I'm in for one, maybe more!

 

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

More likely a price error and it will not ship, I wouldn't worry about it to much. 190 is still hella good for this proc.

 

[Pierce]

Can someone tell me the difference between the qaud and this for gaming? Like for instance I bought the quad so I could do gaming and download or run whatever in the background. I mean is the difference substantial?

 

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

No quad is a waste unless you do crazy shit and have 4 hands.

This deal is DEAD! btw.

Hope you all get refunded fast.
