In June ZipZoomFly drop the price of some of their AMD CPUs
(Venice core chips). I understand from reading web forums that AMD
will drop the price of thier AM2 and 939 socket chips after July 24.

I wonder. Has ZoomFly drop their prices in advance of AMD's drop
or will they drop their chip prices again after 7/24/ 2006.
 
It really depends on when ZoomFly buys their chips.
Any chips they buy at the higher price, they will sell at the higher price.
I would assume they will not buy new low price chips until their current
chips are sold out.
So it's anyone's guess.
Wait until after the 24th, have patience grasshopper.
 
Definitely wait,the price drops after the 24th will be major ones,like the
new 5000+ for $403.Currently the price is about $650.
 
Absolutely!

I have been waiting this price drop out for a while myself. Everything I
have read says major savings are on the way with the nicest be the X2's.
What I have read is the 3800X2 which has hovered around 300 bucks for about
a year will finally see a major drop and fall to the $150-$175 range. I buy
everything from Newegg and in the past the way price drops have generally
gone is this; Say Amd drops the 3800X2 to $170 the day after the
announcement Newegg would drop from $300 to about $250. In about another
week it will drop to about $200 and at roughly a month from the price drop
date it will be selling for about where it is going to stay until the next
price change.
So do not expect a major drop the next day in retail prices but a month
from now there will be and unless you just really need a machine now, have
money to blow, or do not care about the additional performance wait it out a
month.

Have my entire system purchased and ready to go minus the CPU. Thanks to
this NG, I am waiting for the price drop. I had budgeted for a AM2 4200+
but with the upcoming price drop, I am going for the 5000+.

Patience is running out, tired of waiting. lol

Thanks for the heads up!
