well, all of these are just approximations, even if they come from Intel. Believe it when you see the price on newegg or other place where you truest them. Monarch has prices on AM2 that I thought were way lower than what I saw before, but I have seen the reverse true also.
Well, once both AM2 and Conroe get out on the market in steady supply we'll probably see some pricing changes. Intel and AMD always compete so that'll drive down the prices a little. Gotta wait till at least July though before we see any kind of price wars. If you can call it as such. I expect AMD to drop prices at least once just before Conroe launches. We'll have to wait and see how things go.
I will end up buying Intel E6600 Conroe and oc to 2.8Ghz + and have a faster system than FX 62 at fraction of the cost : )
lol, you don't even have to overclock it to beat the FX-62 
. But, just to get everything right, at launch there will be no E6800 or E6900, the E8000 will be at 2.93G. The E6800, E6900, and a 3.33G XE chip are currently not officially on any roadmaps, so their release is probably gonna hold off till Intel is good any ready seeing at the 2.93G XE chip will own anything AMD will have this year barring some insanely clocked 65nm chips.

Same clock, different cache. If the Conroe's cache amount sensitivity is as minimal as that on the A64 X2 Manchester/Toledo, the E6400 and E6500 could be great chips to have.

thats EXACTLY what im planning on doing as well. and OCing the hell out of it. im hoping for 3Ghz. i did with my current northwood 2.4C, and i hope to do it on the core 2 duo as well.
I expect the prices to increase on conroe. The simple fact is that it is that good. They could price the e6700 at 1000.00 and they would stil sale out. Hopefully they won't do this, but I would expect the retailers to make a little cash at launch of conroe.
And these are all dual core correct? Any idea what mobo's will cost for these? Think I might try dual core if those prices hold up. the 209$ one looks pretty tasty .
.I'd prefer to see actual reviews of OCing before deciding myself. I'am hoping that they can overclock easily and high. I dont see Intel raising prices really but pricing is always subject to change. I'd be more inclined to look at them going down a bit instead of going upif they move at all. At least as far as Intel goes. What the stores do are another story. Especially in the first couple weeks of launch if demand is high and supply low.
That's quite true. I'll probably end up not OC'ing my system and spend a little more on a faster Conroe.
hmm then you will need a new mobo, new memory, not to mention new HSF potentially. add those up, yes, it will be faster (marginally when you see the new benchmarks out now), but not for a fraction....for those updgrading from old old system, Conroe is definitely ideal (if prices for mobos, etc. remain reasonable). Otherwise, it makes more sense to move to an Opty / X2 and overclock if you are on a present 939 setup, well unless you got the dinero.

but then why stay at ddr when ddr2 is cheaper? plus you will have to upgrade to 2+gb ram when vista hits...

the affects of going from ddr to ddr2 on K8 architecture is minimal to nil in performance (as witness by the AM2 launch). For those who have a present 939 system, it makes more sense to keep what you have, and move to a faster processor (preferably an x2 or Oopty 165, if you plan to overclock). vista does NOT require a 2gb mem, and mem is cheap altogether (i bought my 2gb for 130 lol).
as an example, one of my present systems is a venice 3200 with 1gb of mem. for me to go to conroe (as i would like to), it would require a purchase of the processor ($309 for the 4mb version), mobo ($200), and new memory ($140+). an upgrade to an x2 3800 or OPty165 (~$275), then overclock to FX60/FX62 speeds, will yield similar real world gains and be more cost effective. YMMV of course depending on CPU/MOBO overclocking capabilities.
