Tech Link (Industry): Intel Core 2 Duo in short supply and priced above list

ZDNet blogger George Ou says that demand for the new breed of processors is outstripping supply, pushing the price higher than the typical listed price. Wow, if I were you, I'd be getting one as soon as the hot baby drops in your favorite store. Conroe FTW!
There are only a few places that I have seen carry the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 GHz processor. The E6600 processor has a list price of $316 but is selling as high as $459 at major online retailers and even then they can't maintain any in stock. Computer superstore Fry's is selling the 2.13 GHz E6400 with an Intel Desktop motherboard for $499 when the CPU itself only lists for $224.
