FAO: Gibbo-QX6850 Due When?

One of those bad boys is mine so music to my earsGibbo said:Hi there
I've just booked in a handful of QX6850's myself personally to ship the 40 pre-orders we had. There is another 60 units which will get booked into stock later today, but needless to say we now have stock of what is the worlds fastest processor for the home PC.
For me I need the very best as I use it for my main trading PC and in a few seconds I can make several times the cost of the CPU so money is no object in my scenario. Its far cheaper to get a QX6850 than buy a dual Xeon setup as you need a different mobo, PSU, Ram etc etc.
Even if I did not need it for trading I would still not hesitate to pay for the best as overclocking a quad requires an exotic cooling solution unless you wish to run a high risk of damaging the CPU.
If you already have an exotic cooling solution then obviously its a no brainer but a lot of people like me do not have the time to set one up so QXs cater for us nicely.
