That's a pretty good deal for right now I guess, about the same price they would be next month after the Intel price cuts...............;)

The thing with buying OEM processors from Tiger is they only give you a one year warranty if you buy a heatsink fan at the same time. Don't buy a heatsink and you don't get a warranty.

I wanted to post this as well. I found it a great price too, but I will actually wait a little longer

Still a very good deal if you want to start out a new C2D machine right now.
I already have my 680 though but waiting for the price cut for the Q6600.
Wonder how far you can push one of them little babies.

Quads don't OC near as well as the Duos do from what I've been reading, but I haven't read much about the Q6600 either, mostly Q6700.......;)

Now if that was a retail CPU with full warranty and cooling solution, it might be a fairly good deal. Also remember when figuring prices, XFX has a fairly large rebate going on with there boards right now as well.

I got mine, and out of the box overclock to 3.2GHZ with P26 bios. I am going to update it to P28 and post my results back.

Pretty good OC. I hear that the Quad-core's don't OC as well as C2D's
