Just wondering if anyone knows if CPU prices are expected to drop any time soon? Specifically on the P4 800FSB variety...

October - mid to late (big drop across the board)

As for little drops, who knows...

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

Intel P4 2.4c will stay the same $170 - $175.

The rest of the P 4 C's will drop on 26 Oct.

if u dont mind overclocking go with the 2.4c. i've heard many good things about these. Ex. being able the clock up to 3ghz without a problem, and in some cases without much or even any vcore adjustment.


I like the ease of intel systems.
I like the fun of overclocking amd systems.
That must make me mulatto or something.

October is a bit too far away to wait for. Thanks for the info!

If you don't mind overclocking, you could get a Barton 2500+ for $90, slap it into a Nforce2 mobo and overclock to ~2.3 - ~2.4Ghz.. Will give performance akin to a 2.8Ghz P4C on the cheap. Obviously though, an Oced P4C will still thrash it though, will cost more though....

If you want performance on the cheap, 2500+ Oced can't be beat...

The end is nigh.. (For this post at least) :smile:
