Who knows? It was $480 a few days earlier..

No point in getting a quad-core right now anyways, unless you aren't patient enough to wait 3 weeks. :P

2 possible answers:

1. Newegg mistake, things like that happen.

2. Newegg is trying to rip off people before the price drop, so they can win some money.

Newegg has a dynamic pricing system that determines price according to their supply. So if their inventory only has a couple left, they will jack the price way up.

You sure you didn't give them a zap of static electricity or bend a pin? CPU's tend to be very reliable components. Damn spacebar.

And you're sure that the CPUs were bad and not the motherboards or power supplies? Some prebuilts come with absolutely nasty PSUs.

So you didn't even check what was causing the problem? Then I'm 99.99% sure that it wasn't the CPU that was bad. :)

ahh, yeah i noticed the price think at newegg too. I checked zip zoom fly and they've still got Q6600's for $480, so i don't have any idea how newegg thinks their competitive with that price.

EDIT: Just checked Newegg again and they're back to $480...must have been a typo.
