Personally.... I've never been a fan of the pre-order. I would just wait until the day they launch and start calling around. Don't order over the net.... TALK to somebody to make sure they have them in stock. This is what I usually do with all the over-priced, E-Penos, first day released hardware that I order. :D

It has went both ways. The key is will the Conroe spead across the market like Northwood, everywhere and in large numbers or like Yonah, a few and see it prices go up instead of down, also like X2?

$319 was supposed to be RETAIL MSRP, not a tray of 1000 price. Yet, $353 doesn't look so bad.
 
@Donnie27 and Dragonorta I am just going by what Guess2098 aka Denny said and he definetely has the contacts.

Ok, I just thought I heard AndreYang or FCG say that stepping 5 was going to be retail. And you can be certain I know that Denny has contacts. Where do you think I got the E6600 ES sitting my dresser from? :D

I think FCG did too.

This is what has me a little worried.

The clock is ticking and many people are eager to upgrade their PCs, for the first time in several years Intel will once again find a place in enthusiasts' systems world wide, let’s hope they can make enough Core 2 in the coming months to avoid unnecessary price increases.

I'd bet some VARs will try it anyway.
 
Since we're all speculating. I expect retail availability of OEM Conroe systems physically in stock on the 28th of July.

INTC down 9cents @ $18.15
AMD down 8cents @$24.87

Especially since an Intel leaked document assures the 27th as the day.

Reviewers are supposed to have signed an NDA (non-diclosure agreement) to view the files which go along with their review sample chips and P965 chipset mobos.

"Content on this web site is under embargo until 8:00 AM Pacific time, July 27, 2006." says one document.
