Thanks for the info. I have called intel and spoke to a tech support. I
was assured that there is only one version of 3.06 cpu and they all are
HT . That said I was also told I could come across a fake 3.06 and
unless purchased from a well known retailer would not be able to get
tech support or exchange. I hope that a well known retailer wouldn't be
risking their reputation by selling fakes. Newegg doesn't price match
with others but having good experience with them I went with the order
anyway. Besides , that low price I mentioned above sounds to good to be
true.
Once again thanks.
