    We talked about Dectrader before. Reviews are rather old for DecTrader ad no one can vouch for them. Do you know some people who have dealt/ordered from them?

    If you want to be the guinea pig, be my guest. :)

    I wont have time to install it until some time next week provided I get my hands on the thermal compound I want to use. The CPU came with a syringe of Shin-Etsu MicroSi but since I have no idea which of their products is in the tube I'd rather postpone until I pick up some Arctic MX-3.

    Given Mandrake's QX was batch# 5838B686 and the one I received is batch# 5838B685 I am very interested in seeing the results...

    In theory you could get in trouble legally, but the processor itself should work fine.

    ES chips have a GPS location device built-in so you might get a knock on your door from some black cloak-wearing Intel execs....

    Agreed, I've been using ES chips for years no problems. Some people prefer OEM/Retail chips and that's their call. Makes it easier to move premium chips. But with that being said, if you're wise about the ES chips and which samples are the best, you can save a bundle and get identical functionality.

    NOTE: DECTRADER.COM is officially LEGIT!

    FYI - My boy wanted a part upgrade for his laptop, so I decided to use the opportunity to give Dectrader a whirl with my "Pro consumer," Visa card and see if they are legitimate or not. I guess I'll be the guinea pig, since everytime I've had a problem with a shady seller or someone who delivered less than adequate goods and opted to not do the right thing felt the wrath of their consumer protection.

    Ordered CPU on 8/27 via automated system.
    -I went with UPS Air 1-2 day ($29 for UPS Air 1-2 day, $12 for Ground)

    Order confirmed 8/27 (They call it 'Processed") with email confirmation
    Funds confirmed as captured 8/27

    I sent an online form email to ask about the system today 8/29
    Order confirmation / completed email sent 8/30 with tracking info
    - Package is due for delivery Monday 8/31

    Package arrived today 8/31 @ 10:30AM. They are re distributors for HP parts as the part
    was directly shipped from HP Parts.

    That is also why their backorder status for QX9300 OEM's is roughly the same as HP Parts store.

    So you can get the QX9300 OEM SLB5J from Dectrader.com @ $474 + $12 Ground or $29 Air
    and save even more coin than going with HP since you also avoid sales tax (Unless you're in
    California).

    Enjoy! :) (Don't be ashamed to rep....I won't be mad)

    Either way, it's good to know Dectrader.com is legitimate and not a scam and is for real for the occasional alternative source of parts.

    I bet you they will fix that price real fast... the Q9000 is listed for over a hundred more from the same company... Someone just made a big typo.

    I bought one just to see if it will go through but they say payment processing takes 2-3 days. I hope it's not going to be like what happened with Best Buy a few weeks ago.

    Brah,

    You'll find that same generic quote on any site that sell's goods.

    There have been quite a few orders thru HP and they haven't changed the price so far.

    Yeah but that price is obviously a glaring mistake on their part... I'm sure they'll catch it once the orders start going through. I bet you the 2 was supposed to be a 5.

    Yes, I already received a confirmation e-mail about it but we won't know for sure if this thing is going to ship until about Wednesday.

    They haven't taken money out of my account yet.

    could be intel saw no market for these at the retail pricing and they were just sitting around. so maybe they are trying to move them out before the next gen chips come around.. very possible i know no way i would have bought one for over 1200$

    I have. LOL. But other than that, it would be nice to have a ~3GHz chip in here like in my desktop for when I get my second hard drive and build up a Gentoo distribution. The faster the quad, the faster it builds. ;)

I have two part numbers at the moment but both come up as 995 usd out of stock .. Any guidance would be great so I can get my order in :/)
