E6850 ETA / Pricing ?

[slickric21]

Hey guys,

I need a new CPU to replace my ageing x2 4800 + and better compliment my new xfx 8800 ultra xxx.

Was about to buy a E6700 today - but have just seen that **uk have got the E6850 as coming in 23/07/07 @ £199.99 - so maybe better to wait and enjoy the extra mhz and fsb for the same price i'd be buying a E6700 if I bought it today.

An word on when scan may be getitng the E6850 and pricing ???

Cheers

Looking at other web sites I would say about £200

But get a E6750 and OC which is about £146

Sorry,

we don't have the E6850 on our systems as of yet as it's not released (well not that I know of)

As soon as it's available, it should then be active on the website.

Best Regards,

I took advantage of that earlier on. Great price and better than an E6600!

I knew I should have waited,

I purchased my E6850 last monday and got it on tuesday 17th - only thing is I paid £199 @ novatech.

Scan now have it for £169 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was the 6 or 7 days i got this early worth £30 ?.......................... I don't think so either.

Nevermind, but that will teach me the virtues of patience in the very best way - a hit to the wallet

oh yeah, my bad cheers m8

was going to order one along with the Gigabyte P35 DS4 but the board is out of stock

[slickric21]

Yeah that board seemed to get a good all round review, along with the Abit p35 board.
I'm never to keen on look of gigabyte boards though.

I got an 680I Asus striker extreme, more expensive and slower than the P35 boards, but i've been a total retard lately and have made some horrendously bad decisions.
The reason at the time was the 1t memory option and the unlinked FSB / memory - so I could run 1333fsb with the 800mhz ram I already had.

However the Striker is a pig to set up and hot, hot, hot

£169 for a 3Ghz core 2. It really is amazing how much the price of these chips has come down recently.

I have my 6600 running at 3Ghz but it would be nice to have this speed without any OC.
