Conroe vs Intel D 805?

Hi I'm planning in purchasing a 2.66Ghz Intel D 805 and hopefully overclocking to 3.8Ghz.

Will Intel be releasing a Conroe for the same price (£85-90)? Im assuming I will only be able to get the lower end ones but say they too release a 2.66Ghz conroe what will the prices be like? Im willing to spend up to £100 on a processor so if they do release a Conroe for under £100 maybe it might be me worth waiting 2months. And even if they do will it be as fully overclockable (is that a word?) as a 2.66Ghz (hopefully 3.8Ghz) Intel D 805?

Cheers,
Michael.

What sort of prices will the 930 be reduced to? And will I be able to overclock them as much as people have been overclocking the 805? Im only willing to spend about £100 max and currently the 930s cost £140 on OcUK so they will need a big reduce.

Cheers for the heads up about June 4th im assuming OcUK will also be reducing prices.
 
But will an overclocked 930 be able to beat a 3.8Ghz 805?

Also on a sidenote will a 805 @ 3.8Ghz be any good for gaming? Im on a Skt754 AMD64 3000+ at stock speeds atm.

And for that matter will the 930 / 940 be any good if they are OC'ed for gaming?
