Wolfdale stocks

What date are the expected date for influx of stock for the new Wolfdales...it's annoying to go on line to order a new PC only to find the CPU's are out of stock. A bit pointless ordering everything else if can't get a CPU. Another retailer had 7 in, and sold out within a couple of hours.

I'd also like to know this as I plan to order a E8500

I can't see why the 8500 is £60 more expensive than the 8400. Only 100mhz difference, and the 8400 will overclock to 8500 speeds easily. Instant £60 saving, even if you're just running at 3.1ghz.

i think the 8500 allows higher/half multiplyers ( i could be wrong though!)

Word on the street is that the UK isn't going to get significantly good stocks until late february/early march.

yeah the multiplier is .5 higher

JediFragger · 30 Jan 2008 at 23:26

E8400 are going to be *very* tight for a few weeks at least with e8500 being even tighter. If you see stock just jump on it, seriously

Hobgoblin · 30 Jan 2008 at 23:28

mines on pre-order so i assume that incoming stocks will be used for them?
