intel quads: in stock or just advertising?

[imashination]

Hey, I need a machine urgently as mine has just nuked itself and I have work to do. Has anyone else here ordered and received an intel quad core cpu from ocuk? Im trying to find out if theyre actually, genuinely in stock and ready to ship or not. All the other companies ive contacted have said nobody will have any til next year.

If I order one on monday, will I get it on tuesday?

Also a small side note, are there any mobos particularly recommended for them?

If your loaded go for a 680i based board, if you want one that is still good then the Gigabyte DS3/4 is always a good choice.

Also take a look at the P5B-E Plus as its rumoured to be a good board (don't know myself).

The last machine I built was a (now smoldering) amd 939 4400+. What would a 680i based board be?

It wasnt anything spectacular. Wake up early (2pm, *cough*) switch on, pop, dead. And yes I do have more money than sense.
