NewEgg.com has the Intel Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8400 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor for $200 with free shipping. This is a retail boxed CPU with Heatsink and Fan included. People are overclocking this thing to 3.6GHz with just air cooling & a good aftermarket heat sink.

    Looks like Intel is finally filling the channel this price is only about $20 over suggested retail they have been more than $100 over.

    There have been some odd problems with the new 45nm process chips and certain motherboards, some resolvable with a bios upgrade, some not. Check it out before you get the mobo.

    I have to agree. It takes me about 30 minutes to piece it all together and then you just let Windows install with very little input. In fact, the Windows install will likely take longer than the assembly. If you're going to pay for an install, might as well just order from a company that customizes. Try CyberPowerPC. I know a few people who used them and were very happy. But any rodeo cowboy can put their own components together, so just quit being lazy.


    Stop coach children.
