Just wanted to let everyone know that the Intel Core i7 920 - D0 Stepping is up for sale at Tank Guys. The ETA on this processor is 3/23/2009 and it is being sold for $319.99!
The new D0 stepping revision is supposed to have better thermals and overclocking, so if you are big into overclocking you'll want to keep an eye out for this stepping.

From what I understand some mother boards will require a bios update as well for some odd reason.................

Found this on guru3d. If any finds one let me know.
* New S-spec (from SLBCH to SLBEJ) and Material Master numbers for the converting products.
* CPUID will change from 0x000106A4 to 0x000106A5.
* The electrical, mechanical and thermal specifications remain within the current specifications. Intel anticipates no changes to customer platforms designed to previous Intel guidelines.
* Readable serial number will be removed from the package ink swatch to fully mitigate the potential risk of the IHS cosmetically overlapping a marked serial number. There is no change to the ULT matrix content which continues to contain the serial number.
