Good price?

The CPU is fantastic, good over clocker on air with a decent heatsink. If it is brand new, then I would say it is a fair price. Allthough it is an old chip 65nm, the newer quads are 45nm. But like I said, they run spot on @3ghz with very little or no fidling with voltages (I'm running stock voltages to get 3ghz).
 
Yeah that's a fair price I'd say. But it's quite an old processor - still a great performer though. Go for it. I'd kill for that 8mb cache.
 
Got a reply from them, EOL, so they've obviously forgotten to update their website :(
 
Q8200 = 2.3ghz, 4mb cache, 45nm, 1333mhz fsb. Q6600 = 2.4ghz, 8nm, 65nm, 1066mhz fsb. I'd say the q6600 is a better buy - more overclocking headroom, faster base speed and twice as much cache.
