I agree. I see many people here saying the price "Will Be" $266. If you think these e-tailers are going to sell these chips for no profit, you're crazy.
Mwave is making a whole $7 (plus any extra off the S&H beyond the actual cost to ship). I don't think you'll see it much lower than that, unless of course Intel cuts their prices again.

You think NewEgg orders in 1000 batches?
Example...

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/....jsp?ProductCode=80860
The E6600 price, in batches of 1000 is $224.
You think they are losing $1 per cpu, plus the cost of the box, peanuts, and shipping?
I think not.

I'm glad the prices have finally dropped; I've been sitting on all the other
components for this system for a couple of months!
I'm waiting for the G0 stepping of the Q6600, though, which should be available
within a week or two. The first reputable local or mail order vendor that has
a retail box G0 for me gets my order.
Actually in some senses even the G0 isn't good enough -- there's been a lot of
discussion about some of the fairly horrible and 'unfixable' (i.e. Intel says they WON'T
fix them) bugs in the Core2 Duos andQuad Core CPUs from Intel. Very shoddy work
to leave things that compromise the entire security and stability/performance of your PC
as CPU bugs and take a "I don't care" attitude. But I guess if you're doing very
limited kinds of computing with them that doesn't so much encounter the problems
and don't care about the security / OS related bugs they can be still useful.
