sorry for the noobness... but.... will intel stop manufacturing q6600's when Nehalem comes in q4 08'? is that what 'phased out' means? will it drop any further? i read that the first batch of Nehalem are the high end models and the mainstream models wont come till q1 09'.... so if this is true... how will this high end models affect q6600 prices - if at all?
because i am cheap... and i have been waiting for several months now for the q6600 to go down to the lower $100 range... right now looking at newegg, its priced at $185 (not boxed)

or should i just go ahead and buy now, assuming that there wont be any q6600's to buy once they get 'phased out'.... i mean i dont get it.... newegg still has slow single core processors for sale for like $55.. these are like ancient... will q6600 always be available?
sorry for rambling - bottom line question... will the q6600's drop in price in q4 08' ??? cuz i need one soon...
fill me in please
