I'm Getting The Q9650

I'm happy to be telling you all that tomorrow I'll be getting the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 E0 stepping 3.0 GHz 1333 MHz FSB.

You guys should know what it is. or most of you do. I was originally wanting to get the Q9550. but I'm not going to wait for the E0 stepping on that. I'm just going to snag the Q9650 thats for sure E0 and be happy. it costs a little more. but my friend works there so I get a little discount.

Although the Q9550 E0's were supposed to have already shipped out to retailers everywhere. yet we are still not seeing them. I did hear that some people ordered some from Australia and they got Q9550's with E0 stepping from AU..not sure why they'd have it before the U.S. but whatever.

This is my plan. I'm going to a supersize electronics store in the states called Fry's. they have over 200 Q9000 series CPU's in a locked room. I'm going to throw the employee a $20 dollar bill to dive in and search through the boxes for a Q9550 with the SLV8B sSpec. and thats the E0 stepping. if he can't find one, then I'll just eat it and get the Q9650 instead.
