Micro center, fry's. YMMV. I think we are close to having them readily available most everywhere.
The question is which ones to look for? and/or is a xeon a better choice

Microcenter has them for $199 D0 stepping.
Newegg has been shipping D0 for few weeks now.

Not a rip off at all. You are guaranteed a D0 chip, simple. Microcenter is instore only, can't guaranteee a D0, and neither will Newegg.
It's called service, cheap ass - you have to pay for it.

How come my friend said i7 sux compared to Phenom 3... since he tried it and only was able to hit 3.6 on 920 ( way too hot pocessor) while the new Phenom 3 cpus he said we was able to oc em stable at 4.8ghz on water cooling.... I was totally astonished ... he could not be lying... coz he builds gaming pcs all the time...

Yes my bad, i meant phenom 2
As far as gaming thoe I believe an 4.8ghz phenom 2 might actually kill a 920 @ 3.6ghz... lets leave aside video and sound encoding... Can that be the case?
