That was funny though.
I would look at the places like zipzoomfly, newegg, and amazon, frys, places like that.
All are .com's.- thanks schutzpm,i dont want to buy the box set,i just want to buy the proc,hope to get it cheaper that way looks like ill have to wait till prices drop a lil,it to much money for me right now,not unless one of those places offer a coupon or something,i just wanna go with some thing a lil faster than what i got now,a E6300
- I always use PriceGrabber.com and also Google's product service (www.froogle.com or search on google then click on more at the top of the page and choose Products from the drop down) to get price checks on things. PriceGrabber lists ZipZoomFly as best price at $284.90 for the boxed version and Google lists a couple places with prices under $300 as well.

I have nothing against the 6850, it's a solid, very fast CPU. But for the same cash, you can get a Q6600 which (I believe) is a little more future proof. Just food for thought.odenwalder

Rose,I think what CHSI is saying is that more and more software is going to be written and/or modified to really use the multiple cpu cores so 4 core are better and that Intel sees quad core or more as the future as well. Here's an article that weighs the pluses and minuses of those two exact cpus.Hope this helps. Deciding for either cpu is will not be a mistake. Also keep in mind that another generation of cpus from Intel is do early next year so waiting won't be a mistake either.
Message Edited by odenwalder on 09-15-2007 08:24 AM- thanks for the info,i couldnt understand some of it because iam not as smart as you and the others when it come to things like this,i just want to get a better proc for my xps 700/720 i dislike haveing a low end proc in this machine,when it can do so much better with a better proc,its like haveing a 4cylinder engine in a race car,is the best way i can describe it!
