Conroe price difference ($)US / (£)UK
I know that it's not officially released, but there's been pricing floating around the net. From what I've noticed there seems to be a large margin in difference between pricing for the same components. I'm used to getting the bad end of the deal comparing to our american counterparts, UK taxes usually account for that;
But look at the differences ! especially for E6600, E6700 (likely to be the most-popular)

These prices are likely to be quite accurate since we are less than two weeks away from consumer launch, can anyone tell me WHY they are so different ? At this rate i might as well get mine shipped from the states.
