I switched to AMD with price difference being a major factor, now as I still have a couple of SKT775 Mobo's I may invest in a Quad and see what all the HYPE is about!!

Thank you AMD

Aw but these are not for the 45nm Penryns. No SSE4

 

[Hrithan2020]

Thats good,would have been better if q6600's price was decreased further to abt 200$.

PS:Is this price reduction to finish the old stocks & make way for the penryn quads which curiously has not been in stock in many markets(q 6600 equivalent etc.)?

acc to that page only price of Q6700 has been cut to 50% ,a better choice, Q6600 would still cost around 9-9.5k

and dont expect a price cut on 45nm's so soon.this is just to clear 65nms and move on with 45nm selling.
