Fry's B&M ad for Seattle/Renton area, page 3.
Intel E7200 itself is a low-cost Wolfdale 45nm CPU which basically replaces the Allendale E4000 series. The ECS GF7050VT-M has BSEL Select Options in the BIOS (without having to do the BSEL pad mod like we've done in the past with the E2000's and the ECS 945GCT's for those $60 combo deals). The E7200 has a 9.5X multiplier at a 266 MHz FSB which gives it a default speed of 2.53 GHz.
BSEL set the FSB to 333 MHz in the BIOS... You've a 3.16 GHz CPU that's basically a $270 Intel E8500 with half the cache (3MB vs. 6MB) and Intel VT disabled. I haven't found any posts using this combo but judging from past ECS GF7050VT-M remarks and E7200 remarks (some people have it over 4 GHz on a real motherboard like a Gigabyte)...
$120 for a CPU/MB combo that gives you near E8500 speeds... should be fairly hot if the BSEL works on it.
P.S. CPU itself is $129.99 at Newegg [Reviews Page]. The ECS motherboard is gravy. Going to pick up a few tomorrow and test it out!
P.P.S. Will double-check but certain these are *RETAIL* boxed.
