My ? is just kind of a general one concerning new technology...
When the intel Nehalem processors and new socket motherboards arrive, what are the usual prices for the newest technology like that? Is it in the $1,000's like the top end stuff now, or are versions released that compete in the $300-$400 range? Obviously prices always go down over time, but im just wondering what its like within the first 6-8 months of release.
I'm wondering because i might build a system now, but if the new CPUs are going to be in my price range I might wait.
Hopefully this makes sense to someone... lol
Is it worth waiting for them now? or go ahead with a E8400/E8500 build?
