I dunno about u guys... but I am aiming the following specs for my new pc in 3-4 months time

E4300 - (hopefully can reach below RM500 after price slash)
Biostar TForce965
8600GT - (if it is around RM700)
Any good DDR2-667 2GB (2 X 1GB stick)
BenQ FP92W 19" Widescreen....
250G HDD

Finally, dual core and widescreen computing is becoming affordable... yummy!!

Info about upcoming price cuts on Intel's CPUs One can only wonder what would make Intel cut prices so much, especially on their high end models! This move will truly bring quad-core to the masses. Is Intel scared of what AMD has in store?

where is the news that its confirmed intel will launch 45nm proc in sept?? its been delayed to 1Q 2008

it will launch its 1333mhz fsb proc in Q3 2007, which are based on 65mn arc.
if intel would have lanched them in 2007, it would kill off conroe and whats the point of lanching 1333mhz conroes in Q3??

WTF Q6600 for only 266? thats like <RM1k

Wonder what will AMD do about this ?

Q6600! Damn, forcing us to burn our pockets. T_T

Please wait for their kentfield processor. C2D is running in one speed but 2 processors. Kentfield is running on 2 speed with 2 processors. So better wait for their kentfield.

what!! Q6600 for only $266?? omg i have to delay my pc again to wait for it??

Ask yourself if you really NEED to upgrade your PC right now,
What's the upgrade for? Is your current rig still doing its job?
if you think you can wait, it means you don't need to upgrade now.

for me, i already bought mobo n others, just proc left. because im waiting for this
the quad core price make me drooling

there are very few apps that can make use of quadcore at the moment tho

i already have a QX6700 sitting beside me, waiting for the remainding high endparts to pair with it... went to LYP yesterday, totally disappointed... basically no one selling the majority of the high end parts i need... but cycom got 1 asus commando left, and c-zone got a few pairs of corsair xms2 2gb 800mhz rams left >.>

Hmm... where did you hear that? Electronics are semiconductors you know, if you want a better semiconductor compared to silicon, it is germanium, although it is more expensive.

Will the price reduction become permanent or its just a promotion where there's a period?

Hmm nice, maybe i just wait for the August PC fair to upgrade to Vista, C2D and R600.

just out of curiosity.... will the price of hardwares closely related to proc go UP/DOWN ????? due to the fact that c2d price going down = more people will buy new pc ..

hardware such as:
1. motherboard
2. ram

will they purposely take this opportunity to increase the price>? or they will pull down the price to even attract "more" ppl to buy?

oO...
the price for e6300 is around 490...consider cheap>??

wat the..... the entry level, after converted to malaysia ringgit, it will be as cheap as RM400+, and with the low bus speed, it will be a tremendous overclocker, i think. will sell like hot cakes. , dunno when will we get this price in low yat. cant wait.

Q6600 - 8MB - 1066MHz - 2.40GHz - 9x - $530 (April price drop, August price $266) when august time its going to be a great buy

This is really a major cut down ... and will stop anyone from getting C2D for the moment ...

i wonder how would the business at the retail shop ... .stuck with all those stocks that will being phase out soon...
