Socket 754 CPU price drops?

[veneficus42]

Now that Socket 939 is out, does anyone know if and when we can expect price drops on the Socket 754 Athlon 64's as a result? I've been playing the waiting game for a couple of months now, hoping that this event would trigger a price drop on the Athlon 64 3000+ I want to get to replace my current, slowly failing system, but my system is getting closer and closer to reaching critical (I currently have it in several pieces just to get it booted), and I really can't wait that much longer to build a new system. Any information on anticipated price drops would be appreciated.

Thanks.

At the price of the 939 chips, dont expect much until intel gets something going.
