So I spec'd out an A64 rig friday night over at newegg, and the three parts that I picked out - CPU, mainboard, and RAM - are all on sale this weekend. The difference for the mainboard and memory is at most a couple bucks, I think, but the CPU - a retail-boxed A64 / 754 3000+ is marked down to $164. Not sure what it normally goes for, but the OEM version of the same chip is selling for only $9 less right now.

Anyway, my question is this: AMD is supposedly going to drop prices on these chips next week; should I wait around and see what happens, or snag the stuff this evening while it's still on sale?

EDIT: changed the price of the OEM chip - the original one I looked at was an older 1MB cache chip.

prices always go down, wait if you can.

to elaborate, the price of the CPU will flucuate the most, mainboard next, and RAM is usually pretty steady (not up or down withing a reasonable period of time)
