Holy crap!

 

[swanysto]

another gimmick, they are out of stock at every store.

 

[skyline889]

Long Island has the open box in stock for $87.96 + tax.

 

[BaronBamboo]

anyone in the area going there? let me know, would like one

 

[TurK-FX]

it seems like they only have one. However that should be a miscount. It has been 100 times to me. i always see a good deal and whenever i go there they say it is a miscount.

 

[harmattan]

Strong Island FTW.

Great deal. I paid $350 for this chip and only used it for six months before moving to i7...

 

[Falling Anvil]

Hey, that's the closest MC to me!

Too bad I probably won't jump on the deal.

 

[dracos]

Price is showing $109.99 for me....

 

[Guitarrasdeamor]

Since when did quad processors go this low? I'm behind the times.

 

[wiseoracle]

I am hoping when i5 comes out, everyone switches so I can grab myself a cheap extreme quad.

 

[killster1]

wow really nice id give someone 105$ to get it for me hehe i like how people are trying to sell the q8200 for 140 that they bought for 99$!!

 

[darkflames]

anyone know if this is better than my q6600?

 

[shansoft]

anyone know if this is better than my q6600?

not any better beside support SSE 4, which mostly for encoding videos etc..

Welcome to... supply and demand... and... capitalism. Enjoy your stay.

 

[LTek]

no microcenter in AZ... damn!

we have Fry's but the Fry's deals have sucked lately.

unfortunately, there will never be a cheap extreme quad. look at how much the qx6700 still goes for.

I've seen some benches that showed improvement with the Q9450. Not to mention lower voltage and temps. It's a no brainer at this price.

 

[mikey976]

im tempted to drive out to LI to go get this

 

[TechBoy]

Lol, Ill pay some one the price of the chip + tax and 40 dollars for your trouble not including shipping to get the chip for me.

 

[TurK-FX]

that`s bullshit, i live 10min away, i stopped by but they said it is not in the stock.
