1- Yes we're still waiting but is just for a few days more, till it drops near 270$
2- socket 775, anything that supports socket 775 and 1066 FSB
3- DDR2 PC6400 aka DDR2 800
4- has 4 cores, is efficient and is probably the cheapest non-business quad core atm
Cons: heat gets hotter than a standar dual core with stock heatsink/fan, isn't priced at 183$

haha thanks!! awesome answer!! fast and comprehensive. impressive. no wonder ur a platinum member lol
so does it mean, that an extra/different cooler/fan/heatsink is indispensable? what about water cooling system? would work?

isn't that a ripe I mean lol they were suppose to be 270ish each. Now because the demand and supply they raise it all the way to 320 and there is no garrenty on getting the g0 steping for such price. Newegg is such an evil evil company
.Honestly, intel and AMD BOTH announce upcoming technology too far in advance for there EVER to be an "appropriate" price.
By the time the quad core is cheap enough for the general non-techie user, something new is going to be out.
I mean, let's face it, when you can buy a complete computer for $300-500, most people are not going to be interested in a $300 processor. And intel's already announced the new smaller cores coming out this winter, which bump the clocks back up to the p4 range.
I think intel should chill out on announcing upcoming technology so far into the future, and they'll sell more of the current hardware, price aside.

If the Core wasn't raping AMD right now, AMD would have another prospective customer. I am an Intel fanboy, "how did you guess?"
, and this is friggin' ridiculous. I am so tired of the Back-order, after it came out TODAY!! What is the retailers problem? They sure honored AMD's little drop a while back, didn't they?

lol, I saw that too, supply and demand$345 !! wtf??
Give it a week or so and it shouldnt be any more then $300.
It's the same as the Core 2 Duo's. There isn't really an "ideal" temperature, but you need to watch out for it getting too hot. IMO I would try to keep it under 55C, but it can still work fine even at 65C.
