Nope, or a job ATM... this is all just temporary though.

Soon enough I'll be starting college and more then likely another job so I will more then likely not get to play much if at all. Maybe 2 hours a week max

What do I do T__T
I ordered the CPU on 10/23/06, and it still hasn't said anything. It still says "Entered for processing" or some shit, I emailed them using their order status question form, and PMed their rep on pcper.com. No reply. resellerratings.com's 6 month rating for them is terrible too.

Also, my dad ordered my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro from amazon on the 30th and I just got it today.

This is a product that sells/sold out in a day or less, do you honestly exepct there was no issue with them having enough?

Newegg apparently gets a shipment atleast once a week, i ordered from monarch less than a day after i saw it saying "1 Left!" and becoming "Hot Item!" Even if I'm on a waiting list, I seriously don't expect that I'm THAT FAR down the list. But fine, it is OEM, who knows how many 165s they get are of that type, I'll give them another week.

-_- still nothing and now when you search monarch's site for '165' or 'opteron 165', it finds nothing... used their order status form to say:

I have waited over a week for my order to ship, but it never did. Now when I search your site for the Opteron 165 that I ordered, I don't find anything. I am assuming you no longer have any and aren't planning on having any in the future. So I hereby request a refund for my order of the Opteron 165 OEM.

I don't expect them to refund me, no one on resellerratings had that sort of luck.

$152 I think.. Checked the credit card company site, I can file a claim 30 days after the order. So, I'll wait for that, and while waiting hopefully get my dad to order the Opteron from Newegg while they're still in stock. I do question whether or not Newegg is really in stock though, they sold off their stock a few minutes after a new shipment came in, yet suddenly, a week later, its constantly in stock? bullshit.

Sweet, ordered from Newegg last night, it already shipped. Fuck monarch and I hope Bank of America isn't a bitch about filing claims.

Woot!

CCBBE 0616 XPMW
3GHz capable, but since I decided never to let the CPU exceed 60C, I don't think ill make it that high. btw 2005, I'm not seeing them lower temps, they look to be about the same as I had with the X2 3800+. Stock load right now is 53C, 57C Core. (but I just saw that my CPU fan speed is half its normal, looking into it now)

my jewels

So.. Tolchester isn't a very accurate name as of now, should I change it or just leave it alone?

RMAing it for a replacement, hopefully a 0617 which seems to be the new stepping. That would avoid the chance of one core having bad contact.
