S939 buying a X2 3800 now or wait

[Graemebo]

Now that AM2 is replacing the S939 do i buy a new cpu for my system now or hope prices go lower, The best i have seen the X2 3800 is 140

I Realyl dont fancy buying a whole new system just to get dual core
cheap

£123.61 to be exact , but i'd still wait until the 24th and buy from ocuk should they b competitive at that time

yea im going to wait. im sure these drops in x2 prices will slow down intels conroe uptake.

Are we expecting a price drop for the amd x2 s939 on the 24th then?

Only if OcUK can actually get supplies at a good price. There was a post on it somewhere else on the forum, where they said supply is the biggest problem. The wholesalers only having AM2 chips.
