I want to know when they are gonna drop? Last I heard April but have not seen any drop yet.

When they switch to a 45 nm process (hopefully soon).
If you're on a budget, one of the best dual cores would be the new Pentium D Presler 9-- Series. They range in GHz (you could just OC a cheap one), and they really do work. The all new 9-- series has 2 MB cache (over 1 MB in the 8-- series) with an improved core architecture (Presler; more efficient).
Im getting the Presler 915 (I think) w/ 2.8 GHz clock and 2 MB of cache. This thing is gonna haul ass for the awesome price of $97.
Coffee is love, coffee is life.
I'm guessing it will happen sometime in the 3rd quarter when Intel releases these new revisions. The way I look at it, it is like a price cut but with new CPUs that haven't been out yet. If you know what I mean. But if those are out of your budget, I'm sure the current Core 2 Duo's will drop; maybe around the $100 mark depending on the model.
when do you guys think that it'd be a good time to sell my current cpu so i can get the new ones and make some profit, hoping to sell me 6600 for 250-300 before prices drop then buy the new ones
eh well ebay they dont usually care as long as you advertise them right, most are going for high200 low300 right now
still you have a guess as to when the downcurve happens?
Thread high jackers!
Anyway I am not on a budget but I am done with my build just need a CPU. I do not want to buy a CPU then a week later it was $75 cheaper. Get what I mean. I am not in a rush to complete my build in my sig. Just want a bargain!
