looks like either newegg only got a hand full of the CPU's in, and they sold out FAST; or something happened and it showed they were in stock when they actually weren't so either way i won't be ordering any of this till it is in stock. or maybe i will look around at other sites and see if it is in stock for the same price or less.

thanks for all the help silencer. ^_^ i'm going to do a little more research and see how this processor compares to the intel Q6600. if i find anything interesting i'll post it up here.
