not sure if this is a repost but just noticed these

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Intel_PentiumM.html

says 1-3 days and the prices look tasty. how do these compare to x2's?

I want one anyway

,

seems like a nice alternative to x2's anyway, with the added bonus of 2mb cache

Can I just say that I have a Intel Core Duo T2500 (Socket 479) 2.00GHz (667FSB) - Retail (CP-125-IN) and they rock!

Stelly

yes you can

they do seem awesome, shame theres no such thing as an adaptor which lets them fit into a 775 board, so you could have it until conroe rather than having to buy a new mobo

Arent these the "laptop" chips, rather than the desktop variants?

Yes

Rain Man · 21 Jun 2006 at 15:03

yes but A-open have released the AOpen i975Xa-YDG for desktop use

With the removal of two jumpers, this AOpen motherboard does allow FSB speeds up to 1066 MHz FSB. Using this technique, we were able to overclock a Core Duo T2600 (2.16 GHz) to 2.9 GHz.

thats with the stock cooler, aftermarket 478 coolers fit on the board aswel

heres a good roundup

Conroe is just a few weeks away. I'd rather wait for that than buy Yonah.

I would do the same tbh, but I bought it about 6 months ago, and I'm still going to be a Conroe chip

agreed but it would make a great HTPC

even more so with the remote theyve included!

scroll to the bottom of that page, a remote which adjusts the FSB! lol class

A little bit late, few moths ago would not of had a second thought but with conroe around the corner and with better results and overclocks i don't think these are worth it anymore, unless you have a motherboard than can take these already and don't want to upgrade to conroe then its the second best option.

Spyhop · 21 Jun 2006 at 17:06

Yeah. No point really. They always were a stop-gap before the real good stuff!

Gibbo · 21 Jun 2006 at 17:26

Hi there

Yes we should have Conroe desktop processors available on the site within the next week or so.

The DFI 975X is already selling very well pre-order!

There's a big smile on my face. I can't wait...

Wow, you're getting them in already? That's fantastic news. Now i'll know how much my new pc will come to, and how much I need to save.

@ Gibbo, any chance of letting us know in advance what the prices are going to be? (the E6600 especially)

He only said that they would be available to order next week.

fenderbass86 · 21 Jun 2006 at 18:24

I know.

Rich · 21 Jun 2006 at 19:31

Im betting they wont be drawn on a price till they can weight up how much stock is going to be available and how much demand there will be. I imagine demand will seriously outstrip supply, but im hoping that Intel have a stockpile ready to go
