No Core 2 Duos? ZipZoomFly has the E6300 and E6400, Clubit has the E6600 and NewEgg had the E6700 and has the X6800. They are late and pricey which makes for a crapy launch but far from a paper launch.

Oh, right. Because 90% of the geeks here and on other tech forums have no plans to overclock or anything. They are going to need that stock HS/F and, of course, the shiny retail box.
Get over yourself. OEM or Retail, the chips are out there. Do you work for AMD?
Nope, if I did I probably wouldn't be waiting to buy a Core 2. And really, what 90% of people plan to do or whether there's a preference for OEM vs. retail has no bearing on the fact that the launch of retail models was announced, and there aren't any. Do you work for Intel, or just like to complain when you see other people complaining?

hmmm...Which board will work with conroe out of the box! I dont have any spare CPU's to flash.
I had the same concern. I ordered my P5W DH today, and right after I placed my order, I called ASUS. They didn't answer so I left a message saying that I wanted to use a Core 2 chip and if they could please send me the latest bios. I got a call back in about an hour, she took down my address and they're sending a free updated bios chip in the mail.
When you call, press 0 and ask for the bios department.

Just bought mine 20 mins ago. Grab 'em before everyone else does. It's at a really good price too. And apparently this reseller has a 10.0 rating on resellerrating.com.

I just called TigerDirect - They said they have a shipment of 500 E6700's coming in tomorrow and that there are about 100 preorders for it. They are charging much less than the gougers ($599) so I went ahead and placed my order.
Oh - Also found the P5W DH from a Canadian ebay company - http://stores.ebay.com/id=60947062
Thay said the same thing about 2 weeks ago about the E6600s. I was told that they were getting a shipment of 150 e6600 and i was 130 in line. I ordered on 07/27 and that my order should be shipping on 7/31. What a bunch of crap. I ended up canceling a week later cause i could not take all the BS. We'll see if what they told u holds tru. Seems like the same song and dance to me tho.

Can't you just go with an E6300 or E6400. Both are widely available in retail boxes.
