well, I had a great experience with moogr. Shipping wasn't as fast as newegg, but for a new company I thought that they did extremely well. my x3350 is chugging along just fine right now at 3.6 @ 1.28 vcore @ load. YMMV with any company on a preorder, and specifically with these 9450's and x3350's the availability has been VERY low. tankguys posted the other day that they had 80 of them for $380 and they sold out within just a couple of days. newegg has been oos for a month or more now. Intel's charts show them only making a couple % of their total cpu output as 45nm quads for the rest of this quarter...you should have jumped on the microcenter deal on the 9450 like I did...the only thing better than ONE 45nm quad is TWO 45nm quads!
