    there's a 329 t7700 w/ free shipping, so it might be cheaper?

    edit: did you get the 8710p barebones? lol. I ordered one of those, but it's still on backorder :(.

    they will be backordered for 2-4 weeks, and the t7700 i can get for 309 is only like 10$ to ship so its 319 shipped. i was hoping to score one lower.. i can get the t7500 shipped for 247.00.. again i was hoping to find one lower, any info would be great thanks

    would we need an OEM(order code:LF80537GG0564M) version of the CPU or the BOX(order code:BX80537T7700) version?

    Edit: google search of the box version is $327, whereas the OEM version is $335

    the one with the 3 year warranty is actually cheaper.

    that is very true also. I don't think 200 mhz will make a difference in anything but encoding.

    Edit: according to intel.com the only difference in the two processors is that the t7700 has 1 more multiplier than the t7500. 12 vs 11.

    $238.22 for the t7500. LOL. It's a .68 savings from 239.

    Also, ewiz.com has been getting very bad reviews lately.
