    News from Intel

    Just found this. Don't know if it is old news but I thought I would share since there were a couple people looking to build new computers. Hopefully this is a precursor to a price drop on the Core2 Extreme processors too.

    I doubt any extreme processors will drop considerably in price. They're just making way for the new chips is all.

    quad-core Xeon X3230 (2.66GHz) saw an identical cut: from $530 to $266.
    that'd be pretty nice for building a server box.

    Price drops were released a few months ago.

    Remember that these prices for the the tray price of 1000 units to a retailer. You will not pay these prices. You get to pay MORE!
