Finally, price cuts. Some nice drops in the table.
[QUOTE]Although processor sales have dropped in the first week of March, such a decline occurs in the early period of every month.

As Intel is planning to lower some processor prices when it launches new 800MHz FSB-based P4s on May 11, the general buying sentiment may get a boost again.[/QUOTE
