Just a question about C2Ds in Q2

[andrus]

So they are going to be increasing the L2 cache in the e6300 and e6400s and they will stay the same price. Now what happens to the e6600? Will it drop in price or will it get some other improvement similar to the e6300s and e6400s?

everything should be dropping down in price by april i think it was

the q6600 should be around the 550 dollar mark, the e6700 down to the 350's i think e6600 in the 250-300 range

Yup, fairly decent drops and i beleive, i read the article in a thread on this forum, but i think it was april 21 that the new ones come out and the same day prices drop.

Dug around and here's the thread:

Niiice.. $224 for an e6600. And the drops are only about a week earlier from when I am planning to order all my stuff :O. Some good timing for me. Vista's major incompatibility issues will be fixed, cheap cpus, memory prices will be on the down from the recent spike, lower prices on the high end 8 series card.. Oh boy.
