E8500 availablility?

[gman]

I see there are a few OLS with it for sale, but none in stock. I know the E8400 is out, but was holding out for the E8500. I saw one post here that said they were suppose to ship his 8500 on Wed., but I cannot find any other info about when major OLS will have it. Any word?

That was me, lol... checking with newegg right now...

I guess my next question is do I even need it when I've got a E6850?

 

[Motley]

Newegg said, we don't know, but when we do, we will post it on our website. hmm ok then.

But I just called the place where I ordered from (http://www.pcsforeveryone.com and they said it will ship tomorrow 1/23/08.

Hope that's a truedat, so I can OC this sucker on the weekend.

No, the question is "do I really need it if I have an E6600"...or, for that matter any C2D than can do > 3.2 overclocked, or not.

Sure why not, just sell your E6850 at least. I'm thinking 4.5GHz-4.7GHz should be attainable on the E8500.

I've got an E6400 right now which I will be selling soon.

Yea, WTH more speed is always good. I guess maybe sometime this week the E8500 will appear.

Well, yea there are at least at few who show the E8500, but 'No Stock'. So, if PCForEveryone ships any out tomorrow I'll be very surprised. There site says 'Call for ETA'.

WTF? Yesterday when I put my order in, it said "Shipping on Wednesday 1/23/2008"

I sure hope it ships tomorrow, I just got the new EVGA BIOS upgrade today, so I'm RTG.
