    very few stores have them as single products right now. intel is supplying manufactures first. newegg and tigerdirect probably wont have them for another month or so.

    "good luck with your pointless $300+ upgrade."

    What a T9300 does for the SLi1:

    Stock T7250, stock gpu clocks - 7200
    New T9300, stock gpu clocks - 8050
    Stock T7250, overclocked GPU - 8000
    New T9300, overclocked GPU - 9702!

    ^^That's because 3DMark06 is CPU intensive. Hence the better score ;).

    Most games won't have nearly as a drastic effect though.

    Nonetheless, it would be nice to upgrade to a good ol' 45nm CPU. :)
