I was wondering if anyone knew if they are going to offer the prescott on the IPD program? It would be nice They have the 3.0 800mhz p4 on their now but its like 230.00 with tax. tax online???
Anyway I think I can wait and do you guys know if the pci express thing is going to be on the socket t boards and will they have a agp slot too??
 
Yes they will probably, but not till they come out. I've bought every chip so far cheap
 
I'm absolutely sure IPD's will get a deal on at least one demo Prescott.

Check back there frequently during the launches, because a lot of times they have discounted further than normal stuff at launches, and then it goes back up to regular but still discounted pricing. I'm very happy with my $207US (now back to $309) P4 3.2Ghz by the way :D

I remember when the first Intel Gigabit adapters went on sale for like $33. This was back when they were unheard of and uber-expensive (like $200) Everyone was like OOh-ing and Ahh-ing when I showed them to peeps.
 
You have to be a reseller, They tightend up a lot since 2 years ago. But you might get though.

I've got an account @ D&H and Ingram micro. I get cpu's from them. Usually AMD. Unless i buy quite a few, I dont get any killer deals on intel. Not like The big guys.

Fill out the form and give it a shot. you have to have a business or at least a name you can think up.

I know a lot of people havnt had luck lately. And 8 months ago i didnt meet my 10 cpu quota, and the turned me off of the IPD purchase for a little while. 2 short so i bought a couple Celerons and network cards and it's back again.

You can get killer prices on Demo CPU's for your store, And intel Posters, literature is free there with shipping.

I ordered 30 Intel P4 posters and they sent them. I was goning to cover my Computer room walls with them!!!

But give it a shot. It doesnt cost anything to try.


only one on there now is the 3ghz P4 HT for $209 2.7 celeron for $77 and a 2.8 for $88. Didnt know there was a 2.8?? Your only allowed to buy 1 of each CPU. Cept Xeons you may order 2 and boards on there are cheap.

Ordered the 2.8 celeron for the hell of it!!! I will OwNZ JOO with my 4ghz celeron soon!!!

Got all the celerons so far. the 2.2 in my Shuttle Box came from there. 3.3ghz stable for the last 8 months,
 
Also remember it can take forever before they finally ship you one.

OT: Tedinde were you the guy that tests CPUs in your vapo before you use them in customers boxes? I ask because I'm curious if you've been generating any statistical data. It would be really nice to see an OCing distribution with a large number of samples at good cooling. Have you been keeping track?

??? Ive ordered every cpu they have had in the IPD demo Program for almost 2 years now. I ordered tonight. It will ship out tomorrow, UPS 2 day blue. I will have it Friday, and post screenies of it!!! 2.8 celeron, who would of ever thought!!!:D

Or are you talking about forever to get in the IPD program. That took over a week when i did.

I Keep screenies, tons of them!!! and some data on the best chips, like who they go to in case they want to upgrade if i really want the chip back. . I havnt found any pattern on steppings.

I only really test the one's that seem special on air. everything starts testing on a Zalman, stock V on a Modded IS7-e board i have on the bench. Always looking for the Special chip for me.

I've gotten crap 2.6s that wont go over 215fsb in my vapo no matter how many volts, then the same numbers on it just about get 290 on air out of the same stepping 2.6 in the same order.

The really good one's i save for The special rigs people want.

What kind of data you exactly looking for??
 
IPD is ok, but the killer stuff comes from being a Premiere partner.

I know a few Premiere partner guys in town, the minimums for that are like 1000 units or processors a year.... At that level they just give you a demo unit of all the new stuff (processors, mobo's, networking gear)
 
not in this lifetime I will be buying 1000 cpu's a year then I will expect for them to give me free stuff damnit!!!
I guess I will keep checking back. They have gotten really strict.
Of course there is a trick for everything but I am not telling
I guess I have until Feb. before they stop my cheap demo prices lol. I wish they sold ABIT "Intel motherboards".
 
I know a few people that jumped on the springdale offer back on release that didn't see their CPU/mobos for months.

Tedidnde I was hoping for some kind of statistical data that you could generate a normal distribution curve from. Basically it would give you yield data for significantly lower than the typical operating temps they normally use for acceptance criteria in binning the CPUs.
