This does not sound good. Prices of computers are high already, why increase it further? I am not talking about throw-away-entry-level-computers.

^^ prices will go up cause of wafer shortage due to Japan earthquake.

actually prices were suppose to drop & had dropped a bit but now prices has gone up. so they cancelled each other, telling this had anyone not understood what i told initially.

Read with your eyes, it says WAFER shortage, i.e electronic component shortage, not water as in H2O shortage.

I have asked for the B3 stepping mobo. The specific model is Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7-B3. I am still waiting for it, as SMC has told me that they will receive it only on 9th of April.

If prices are increasing that would be a VERY bad news :(
I was thinking to upgrade my PC, but think will have to postpone it!

Unlikely. Intel & amd have fabs all over the world. But ram prices will likely rise & so will mobo pric.
