What kind of price increases should I be expecting for socket 939 CPUs and mobos?

Nothing from mobo. And maybe not much from the cpu since they will have half of the l2 cache. But they may have R&D costs to recoupe. So, maybe it could go up alittle. Not for sure.

Kinda depends a little on supply. If the boards and CPU's hit the market in mass quantities, then there should be no increase, hopefully this will be the case for the baords. But from what I've read(sorry don't remember where) the socket 939 CPU's will not be plentiful in the beginning and from what I have heard, most will be of the FX variety. I could always be wrong though, I hope the stuff is decently priced.
