Bitmain says these are shipping March 30th.  Any idea how long they are taking to ship to US?

I'll try Slush after a week on Bitminter then compare.  Seems to be the best way to determine which is best.  Or maybe I need a longer period of results.

Thought as such about how often Bitminter reports speed. 

When looking at bfgminer and determine avg speed its the last number nearest Gh/s, correct?  For example 610.2/603.6/>this number>793.1Gh/s

As for pool, I chose Bitminter because my first experience with mining was with a jalapeno and their software was the easiest.  I now realize I'm better off with bfgminer.  Don't know about the pool though.  Suggestions welcome.

The model number is BPU700C.  Should be 28nm I'm assuming.  Can I check within bfgminer?

If I Google that model number results come back with 700Ghs.   The unit purchased was advertised as 800Ghs.  Monitoring within BitMinter it avg's 900+.  Bitminter reports between 600 and 1.3 at times.  Why is this?  bfgminer, assuming I'm understanding it properly avg 800.  If the system is at least getting 800 its a moot point.
