Tired of waiting for e8400's...

[ninwbhaugg]

Well I'm ready to order everything for my computer, and I'm sick of waiting on e8400's

Should I just buy an e8500 or a e3110? I've heard the 3110's are basically the exact same thing.

If E8500 is available go for it and do not hesitate

 

[dragonsprayer]

i would get the 6750, sure it runs a little slower but its a great cpu -what i am using

yes, if you wait i would skip the 8400 and go to the 8500

 

[chookman]

the 8500 is a fairly big jump whereas the e3110 can generally be had for cheaper than the 8400 (at least from the stores ive seen) and the only differnce is it carries the Xeon name which will mean the CPU is higher binned

Id go for the e3110 if you can get it

Go with your budget, and have a heatsink to support it. none are a bad option.

 

[dragonsprayer]

server chips are for servers! lol!

is this a sever app? its 775 so its same thing with a different name?

 

[rockbyter]

Its like the athlon MP, its just a desktop chip that happens to be unlocked and ready to go in MP situations, or run on a desktop board as a workstation.

You mean you can't find an E8400 or your tired of waiting for prices to come down?

Got mine at Fry's for $245 out the door.

Has anyone recieved their $200-210 Buy.com e8400's? I got sick of waiting for mine and hate paying a premium because of low supply/high demand.

edit: I like this one. availability = yes. But click to see real time availability and they are backordeed a few thousand.

I agree E8500 see if its sensor isnt all out of wack like the 8400 is.

I've never actually seen the E8500 available in stock anywhere (or E8200, for that matter). BTW, I just received an e-mail from ZipZoomFly.com that the E8400 is in stock and shipping
...but at $279. I don't think we'll see $189 E8400's anytime soon. I'm happy that I got my E3110 a few weeks ago for $218 after an E8400 disappeared out of my shopping cart at TigerDirect.

Unless of course we are Welsh. Then we pi$$ on the queen's english every time we use it.





JK, I hope no Welshmen take offense.

 

[tricky trees]

Welsh people can't read so there won't be any on this forum to take offense.

Its not so much what youre getting on about, sounds more like your getting off on this. Oh and by the way, I can slaughter the english language as much as I want, Im a yank heheh

 

[Thorbaden]

i bought my E3110 couple days ago from excaliberpc.com for $219 retail. its up to $229 now but GL finding it for cheaper and in stock elsewhere. on the E8500 note i dont think paying $50-100 more for 160 mhz increase is really worth it.

heres the link to excaliber and it is still in stock

Are you not familiar with the Queen's tongue?

I assure you that I am indeed!

Does the King know of this!?

Forgive him. He's from Arizona. (probably didn't even know a queen could be married to a prince. Hmm on second thought, that even sounds funny to me. Incest the royal game)
