    It won't ship until sometime in October, but calling them was definitely the right thing to do ;)

    I noticed on their site that the price dropped a little bit, but went up on the Corsair memory. Ron explained that they just use a major name brand if you don't specify Corsair, so I went ahead and did that. It was $60 cheaper.

    At any rate it will be much nicer than my current Sony Viao (Celeron 900). I just need to figure out how to do the bank wire transfer, but my accont rep at my bank should be able to do that for me.

    Conrats :) We'll need to start a C2D benchmark thread once they finally start shipping.
