CPU price drop cycles

[Puchiko]

Is there a round of price drops around the corner for Intel CPUs? I think I remember last year they did them at least once a quarter. I'm looking to replace my socket 478 P4 2.8C with a 3.4E but the price has been flucuating at Newegg every week about plus or minus 5 to 10 dollars. So I'd rather wait for an offical price drop then pay too much right now if I know a drop is around the corner.

Probably when the next round of CPU's come out but I'm just guessing

I would overclock that 2.8c. Mine runs at 266 fsb (3726), and would go a little higher with a better power supply. Current temp is only 44c. I'm using an msi 865pe board.

It is overclocked to 3.19ghz. But I want to get a 3.4E and overclock that to 3.8+
