I was looking around today and found this article on inquirer: <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18021" target="_new">http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=18021</A>. Have look at the intel prices here: <A HREF="http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/pricelist/" target="_new">http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/pricelist/</A>.
Intel really droped some of the prices alot (expect EE cpus of course!). The 560 (1M L2 cache 3.60 GHz 800 MHz FSB 90nm) is now at $417, lower that 3800 and 3700 A64. Seems like they probably feeling threated by A64 performance and lower prices, so they finally cut prices! However, I think you could probably still build cheaper and faster A64 system. Anyhow, it would be nice for us, consumers, if AMD also droped thier price now
