CPU/Mobo AMD drops processor prices by 47%!!

why isnt anybody waiting for socket am2? why is everybody rushing for a socket 939 processor when amd is saying that they will stop producing 939s from 2007 onwards? Explain this to me like i am a 2 year old please
 
doom......am2 means new mobo(which we can get cheap after a month or so).......but u need to upgrade ram...too and quality ram r xpensive........

also c2d better option than am2......

also ppl here who r goin for 939 will upgrade for c2d in future as prices of that stuff falls..... ard next yr

Only DDR2 works with AM2 so you need to upgrade RAM.

Plus you need real fast DDR2 RAM to reach the performance as of systems with 939 socket equivalents which translates to much higher cost just for getting equivalent/slightly faster performance which is not worth it..

Further fall in AMD prices :

Updated price/performance chart reflects single-day AMD price drop | TG Daily

Suddenly, the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is selling for an average price of $144 - down $23 from yesterday, and below the new 3600+ target price - once it's introduced - of $149.

As the market starts to anticipate some action from AMD on the "4x4" front, prices for the FX-62 tumbled $70 in just one day, to $794. Prices for the Athlon 64 X2 4600+ followed suit, dropping $26 (down 9.6%) to $246, while the 4400+ saw the steepest percentage decline of the day, down 11% ($29) to $235
