Scan to split Intel Quad Q6600 GO Stepping CPU's !!!

[StoX]

Do we know if after the first stock of B0 sell whether there will be more, or will the next batch be different??

I would say that once all B3's have been sold Only Go's will be stocked.

We need to hire a spin doctor to tell the masses that B3 is more superior to the G0... it may just work..

All my gear arrived today, I'll be putting the stuff together over the weekend. Must say I'm supremely impressed with the TJ09 case.

Well, I found a place in the UK that stocks the G0 Stepping so I just went and ordered one. Should be with me tomorrow.

At least I ordered the Motherboard and fan from Scan. I might even order a new HD to go with it

I will let you know how well it clocks.

Where?!?!?!?!?!

Whats this place called

The TJ09 is an awesome case, has to be one of the best cases I have ever used

Found a site which shows them as "Normally in Stock" but, I've fallen for that one before !!

[DR]

I've a G0.... It's a QX6850 though...

I've seen them too. Same name as a UK ISP Best avoided I think.

I've seen another one who claims to have 12 in stock. They had 12 about a week ago.

Again, Probably best avoided. I searched on both names and wasn't persuaded.

I think I'll wait for SCAN.

so I guess there is no need for a mad rush, especially if the prices are only going to fall. I may sit on it for a bit and buy a Auzentech Prelude first

Comparison between B3 and G0 - 5% less power usage under load (6% when overclocked)and not much difference in overclocking (3.33 vs 3.4-3.51).

Hmmm, makes me wonder if this is worth waiting for

[mooney316]

thanks for the review anandtech, now if you could kindly send over that G0, nothing will get messy

lol oh n thanks grim for the link!

If anything, you might get an extra £2.50 when you flog it on ebay in 3 years time!

Gotta look after the resale value too ya know!

Last time I ordered from them, they had stock, only to receive a phone call 4 days later saying that they didnt, and hadnt had any for a while. Their site still said normally in stock later that day!!

[funnelhead]

indeed their "normally in stock" is a bit like my "normally having sex with twins"

I wish i was, but i'm not. Ask again later.

My G0 will be here on Monday, so I will be able to compare clocks & temps, will report findings
