Seems like a decent price since most places want $100+. Even the FS/FT forum has em around $100.

Edited first post to remove the referral in link. Didn't see that was in there when I copy/pasted :p

Thanks for making me realize that Kenworth.
 
BTW looks like the $30 rebate expires TODAY (6/10/10) for those interested.

How much better are the i3 than the core2 duo ?

It's slightly faster in dual core optimized apps or games but in quad optimized apps it's fast as Q9400.

I bit when TD had this for $85 shipped after bing few months back. Had it @ 4.2ghz ever since I got it. Great low wattage CPU that hangs with big boys once overclocked.
 
I just needed an 1156 CPU to finish up the build for my brother's graduation present. This will work nicely. I was looking at getting an i5-650 from MC for $140, but that also adds the cost of driving there and tax. For what he'll be doing, he probably won't even notice the difference. He's currently on a P4 2.8GHz with an 8400GS, so this plus the 5770 should be a pretty good jump.
 
Wow, I got my order confirmation email last night at 5:39PM, and UPS is showing that it's already out for delivery. If the UPS guy comes at the normal time, it should be delivered within about 20 hours of placing the order. Can't beat that for being a couple states away even.
