    Any big chains sell notebook CPU'S? I called bestbuy and a few others with no luck! I'm looking for a T9600 or X9100 to hold me over till that illusive QX9300 is released.

    Just use google.com/products or even a google search since most big name stores won't bother to carry mobile CPUs since there isn't much of a demand for them due to the technical incompetence of most people.

    Have you tried CompUSA, Fry Electronics, or Micro Center?
