I am still in shock AND mourning over this price. I spent nearly $250 for my processor when it came out only to watch that price fall by nearly $125. I don't even want to look at online prices anymore..........

The QX6850 is $1,179:

As for the Q6600 at $289... it's incredible. I paid $377.85 (before taxes) for an E6600 this past February.

$299 at NewEgg. That would be the equivelent of $315CAN, or around there... so essentially NewEgg charges $25 more for the CPU than NCIX does.

That's nothing. I paid $250 for this 4800+ about 3 1/2 months ago myself.......

This thing is dropping down to ridiculous prices.

Wow, I don't know how I missed the Xeons. Check out the Xeon X3210 @ $230.

Until I saw this thing, I was pretty much sold on an E6750 for the next upgrade - now the waters are murky again.

Edit....Coolaler's sig has some interestign links as well.
