Just found this linked from the evga site. Figured id post if for you guys, just to get some thoughts. Turns out the chip isnt quite what most of us thought. At least not the first batch.

So I guess if you already have some type of overclocked quad penryn chip, youll be set for a little while. And if you dont? Well when nehalem comes out, Im sure theyll be cheaper, so get one then.
