It's only In Store Pick-Up but still! It's an excellent deal

:O That's a beautiful price! I'd pick one up but i live too far away from the closest store

good deal, to bad i there's not even one of those stores in my state..

That place often has amazing deals, cheaper than Newegg sometimes. Without shipping costs or delivery time (and easy access for returns), Micro Center is my Toys "R" Us. =)

I'm assuming this chip won't OC high since it has a lower mutiplier and high fsb to start out with?

 

[brycematheson712]

Are you talking about the CPU in general or this specific CPU from MicroCenter? it's the same chip. The multiplier and FSB should be exactly the same regardless of where you purchase it.

Well comparing it to the cheap q6600.
