Anyone taken delivery of one of these yet ?
Or at least placed orders ?

I am intending to order as soon as someone can confirm maxwell runs smoothly ......

Didn't know they were out, or that you could even order one. Where have you seen them?

I'm in the same boat, waiting for them to come out, then waiting for someone else to check that Maxwell runs on them.

Does anyone know whether Maxwell will be fine with the new SSE4 instruction set that the new Penryn chips use - or will it require a re-compile of the Maxwell apllication? Not techie enough to understand the implications of SSE4 :?

I only know that with the dual quad 2,8Ghz i would get 2x the power i got for 300€ less than what i paid for my dual dual 2,66Ghz 8 months ago!
Grat update for what the €/Ghz ratio is concerned!
