DjE7wood, how did you have it shipped. If it was via UPS or FedEx, you could be in for a rude shock. Canada Customs has NOTHING on those guys, when they start charging their brokerage fees for doing nothing.

BTW, NCIX had/has the X3350's in stock for about a week now. I got mine on Monday. No problems shipping from BC to Alberta, either.

Yeah, I'm so pissed that I just had to spend $179 on a Q6600.

I see TankGuys says they have them in stock. Are they a reputable retailer?? Anyone bought from them?

Also in reply to EMP, I needed to upgrade now due to parts failure... wanted a good machine for processing, programming, and etc. Not for gaming, seemed like a reasonable thing to buy since I wanted to push the processor and use the 1800mhz memory. And so you think its stupid to get this stuff, well nobody gives a damn what you think. Nobody has to give a damn about what I think either, but my point is... you didn't answer my question from the original post you noob. And you didn't add anything to the thread so it was a useless post.

I'm just pissed off Intel doesn't supply better info... they don't have to supply the processors, but tell us why, when etc.
