July 23rd is eight weeks, not six.
But hey thanks for flame, I appreciate it.

In the grand scheme of things, 17 days makes no difference.

If you can't verify whether or not the information is accurate, why pass it along at all?
Because the information may well be accurate - we don't know, but some people actually care. Unlike other people like yourself who claim to not care but still waste time reading the thread and posting stupid responses flaming the original poster for something that is perfectly acceptable and desired by the majority of the other people who read the thread.Originally posted by: DrMrLordX

Questioning the validity of a rumor is not flaming, sorry. People do it all the time when links to Inq articles are pasted.
While a 17-day early release for Conroe makes no difference to me, people posting rumor and speculation as kinda sorta fact does. The OP even went so far as to state that he could make no claims as to how factual the information was.
I don't think the OP is lying. I think he is passing along information he got from an unnamed first-tier manufacturer. The problem is that the information may not have been good in the first place. If you have unreliable/unverified data, why report it? We won't even know if the information will be useful at all until July. If what he says proves to be untrue, will anyone call him out for spreading false information?
When people question the validity of Inq articles, they generally get a pass (for pretty good reasons). But if we question Questar, we're flaming?
Also, are any of us actually going to know which first-tier manufacturer is selling Conroe CPUs early so that we can actually take advantage of it? Will they only be selling Conroe as a part of OEM machines that many of us would not want to buy? Even for a rumor, there seems to be too little information here for it to be potentially useful.
