Ah, sorry I've been pretty tied up with work recently, haven't been following this at all.
Thanks.
EDIT: If I were to cancel my existing order because of this and amend it to an i7-950 based system would this put me straight back to the back of the queue? Only asking because if it were to take a further 13 working days it would make more sense to wait.
If you ring them up they should probably be able to just change your order rather than cancel and re-order if you cant do it from the site.
Thanks for the suggestion Rakk, yeah I've tried doing it on the site but I can't figure out how (if it's possible). Will try calling up tomorrow while at work but I fear the wait times will be long because of this issue.
Edit: Thanks Gorman. Really appreciate you working overtime here! Do you know if I'd have to call up to amend this by any chance?
On this occasion i would say it is best to give us a call to amend the order, if you need to know how long the phone queues are check this link http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/call-waiting/
