Title: For those thinking of upgrading.
Post by: 4ACES on July 09, 2004, 05:56:45 AM

Since I know a lot of people are thinking of upgrading including myself.  :)
Just thought a few might like to know that by what I've read Intel is dropping the price of thier P4 around the end of August. (AMD always follows suit).


Pentium 4 Price Cuts - 22 August 2004

Pentium 4 560 (3.6GHz) $637          $417 -34.5%

Intel dropped the bomb that the 3.6 release is delayed. I'm wondering if these plans aren't going to coincide with the eventaul release of the 560. Anyone know more about this?
