Yes its been posted 3x already but this articles more detailed:

The Q6600, launched last month, sells in quantities of 1000 for $851. By mid-April Intel guidance suggests this processor will already price down to $530. The next price cuts, labeled "Q3 2007" will coincide with any launch events for the AMD quad-core products.

Looks like this article suggest mid April we will get the Q6600 @ 350-£400

And then my July-Sep with AMDs launch it will cut to £200-250.

That sure gets on my nerves especially when im considering to buy a new rigg

At the moment there doesnt seem to be any benefit to Quad cores but its just titles like Supreme Commander appearing and HL2 EP2.... course we could very well have Crysis in June and Epics Unreal 2007 poss the Summer also.

To me it may just proove worthy to jump to quad core if such titles are appearing, may as well wait another month and then get a Quad core and R600 now but man still sux waiting
