It is now out on newegg and they are selling at $65, not $50
Newegg.com - Intel Celeron E1200 1.6GHz 512KB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail

I hope that it drops to $50 in the next couple of days

what about the e2180, how high can they get on stock volt?

 

[veg1992]

3.2ghz I think?

but for all you know the Celeron to 3.0ghz might have been a lucky oc

I dont think Intel can win the budget war, theyve given Celeron a bad name already and the AMD Athlon X2 4000+ is the same price if not sometimes cheaper and performs better.
