    1: Will Penryn (Socket P) ever get to the major retail sites...I know it's on Lagoom and Monstronix, but will it ever get to the major sites such as Newegg and Tigerdirect? I mean, how long were Merom (Santa Rosa Merom) processors available in computers until they went to Newegg and other such sites?

    2: Where are these less known sites getting Penryn from..?

    Just two questions that have been bugging me..

    Newegg already has some of the Penryn processors.

    Example: T9300 here.

    Penryn is already on Newegg, type T9300 and there you have it [ ;

    They probably are smaller wholesalers with small connections, I mean Newegg has had it for a couple monthsish, it has just been out of stock!
