If you all look back through this thread it's been explained several times as to what is happening.

All of us who ordered during the 2:00pm - 2:02pm Window last Tuesday and who have been successful received an email last week confirming we would receive a board.

We were then told extra stock was arriving at some point on Monday (Today) and our boards should be sent out this evening.

To be fair guys it's only just gone 12pm so I think it's a bit early in the day to be expecting updates and/or emails confirming dispatch just yet.

Yes that's true BUT it was also said that everyone who wasn't getting one would get a phone call, and there are some of us with no email, no phone call and debits on our credit cards for these boards...

That I can't answer. My main point was simply that at 12pm it's a bit early in the day to be expecting emails/updates confirming dispatch. In another 6 hours maybe.. Bit early right now.

Maybe a silly question, Maybe in the wrong thread..

It is likely that ESXI will work with the P55-GD65? I only have the motherboard at the moment so can't check myself.

chippy08 · 14 Sep 2009 at 15:03

Personally I would go I5 + 750. No real difference to a 920. The 920 uses more power for very little gain in the real world.

I'd have to disagree. i7-860 and i7-920 are very similar in terms of performance, but the i5-750 is definitely not (quite) in the same league.

Of course, in either comparison, the important question is: What is the intended usage?

Agreed. They're in stock. It's 4pm. Still in the queue.

Somewhat ominous that there has been no word.

Multi tasking is much more important than games but i read reviews some saying very close in performance and some say not as good so depens which review you read.
How i wish the i7 920 would drop in price that would make me decide straight away. Plus i have to change my memory so thats put the cost up just over my budget but i can always save a bit longer.

I'm in a position like some of you other guys. I ordered a GD80 on launch day at around 2pm. But didn't get my order fulfilled. I instead was called up the day after and offered to exchange to a GD65 which I took this offer up.

I'm just wondering when these boards will be in stock and dispatched, any mod or worker at Overclockers able to answer this for me?

Thanks

I've been told that it will be today or tomorrow, in the order that the orders were received.
