possible intel price reductiontion on 7-22-2007

i'm in the need to upgrade my single p4 to a dual core and stumble upon this page at slickdeals about a price drop from intel.here is the link below and all credits go to the poster and whoever found the info and such.http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=515717&highlight=inteli've been wanting to purchase a quad core. so that quad core processor looks good. but the fsb speed sucks, i wish it was 1333.

Can't you overclock it? :PNice prices btw. I've been looking for a full upgrade as well. But I'm waiting for dx10 to become more mainstream and DDR3 to properly beat DDR2.

Replying to #2

yeah, it can be overclocked to like 3.4ghz, but then you'll have to run those tests to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. i don't have time for that.ddr 3 won't replace ddr2 anytime soon. not probably until either summer or winter of 2008. i'm leaning more towards winter of 2008.

Don't worry, NM needs time to save his pennies. It's a hard life being a graduate :P

even when ddr3 prices drop, it'll be the 1066 or the lower clock speeds and not the higher speeds that'll be cheap.
