Do you think i have a chance?

Do you think i have a chance to get a D0 stepping for a prescott 2.8e from newegg? If not where would you think my best change in getting one is?

[Don K]

Newegg will surely be among the first to get them (i think), but I would personally wait untill Intel has posted them officially in Proc. Spec Finder......

did Intel official send D0 stepping out ?

but i cant really remember a newer stepping not being better so it should be the way to go.

OK so im going to buy it from newegg what do you think my chances are?

[batboy]

Your chances are zero from newegg. Intel has not yet officially released the Prescott D-0 stepping. Need to wait a little while.

[Chocobo]

:( How much longer?

[HawainPanda]

It's the new Prescott stepping that was supposed to have been released May 7th, but apparently it's late.

OK im getting tired and i need a new chip so what should i get? Should i just go get the 2.8e from newegg now? because i have a pelt and it should O/C fine.

[batboy]
