i was just at newegg and i saw that they have the pentium 4 3.2 ee (oem) available but get ready to chuck out some massive bucks. cost: $1025.00 w/free shipping (for that price it better be free shipping). if you want the retail it's $1045.00 but it's on auto-notify (eta 12/15).
Wow, that took Intel long enough, considering the Athlon 64 regular and FX-51 has been out for over two months. Intel really has to get better at supplying their products, as some releases takes ridiculously long to come out.
i have seen them available on alienware for a while but its a $700 upgrade from a 2.8c. intel was initially only releasing them to the builders (alienware etc.). consumers are always last on the list.
OEMs buy far more processors than end-users. Of course, the end user that buys the computer still ends up buying the processor; but as far as Intel is concerned, selling huge volumes of their chips to OEMs means more to them than selling a few hundred-thousand (if that) to end-users. Once Intel has sold the CPU to the OEM... they could care less if the OEM is able to resell it afterward.

I mainly deal with Supercom as a distributor. They don't have SKUs on the P4EE yet, let alone Scotty. I'm sure other distributors probably have them... but we're not set up to do business with them.
