I dont know why I have to have 50 posts in order to add to a thread over in hot deals.. but here goes in this thread because its related.
The 2008 fall Intel retail edge bundle as many people have seen from the email will include an Intel Q8300 processor Vista and a motherboard. (Or offers an SSD HDD)
I emailed them complaining about the "cheap" version processor, and also asked about the motherboard. And the mother board is probably going to be the deal keeper.
"We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the current configuration of the upcoming Big Deal. The determination for which items we will be offering is based on multiple factors, including quantity of all of the items available, and making sure we can provide the bundle at a price point that allows as many Program members to participate as possible.
I have however, forwarded your concerns onto Program management for consideration in future promotions.
In regards to your secondary question, we will be including the Intel(R) P45SG Extreme Series Motherboard. Full details for the Big Deal will also be made available on the site beginning in early November when we host our next site refresh."
Intel(R) P45SG Extreme Series Motherboard!!!
Crossfire, DDR3 optical sound, overlcocking.
It does have an unusually large heat sink by the processor socket though.. might be annoying for finding a heatsink.
Found it on tiger direct:

I hope the bundle is $150 or $200, then I would definitely buy it.
