It could very well work out cheaper to buy from the states, and then get it imported. I might do that instead!

Kyle, you're forgetting you have to pay VAT on top of the US price, shipping and import tax. When you add it up, unless they're charge $20 for the US CPU's you're going to work out paying more.
Use a service like shopthestates - get your item sent to your own personal address, for the normal US Postal price. They (STS) will then send it off to you for a small fee. It works out a lot cheaper than getting your item sent internationally usually, and also gives you the advantage of buying things from the states and getting them anywhere in the world, almost.ghettoperson wrote:

The Q6600 is £176 on OCUK and it starts on Monday. So the table wasn't too far out I suppose.

How could I pass on the opportunity to get a quad core cpu for under $300 bucks? I may have to get off my lazy ass and work some overtime next week to get me one of those Q6600s.

Does the Quad Cores support DDR2 800 mem?
yes.Crypto_420 wrote:

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm new at this stuff), but wouldn't the extra cache more than make up for the extra Hz? Especially for memory intensive stuff like gaming...geNius wrote:
Less cache = better overclock.Bell wrote:
Think Cyborg did this a little while back, different chart tho, anyway I want to call attention to a slight detail here.
Why, are they not reducing the price of the 1066 chips even further? According to those prices I can buy an E6750, for the same as a slower E6420/E6400. Who the hell is going to buy the slower one for the same cash
Or failing that, save myself $20 and buy a faster E6550 over the E6400.
I assume they dont plan on shifting there old stock?
Might venture into a quad myself
