Today in www.theitwares.com I saw the old prices of the processors C2D, but two days back I think I saw E6700 at 16000, what have just happened?

I think the prices are right. The E6600 was 16k first, now that has dropped to 11k....Not sure what the E6700 was before...

It is already selling for around Rs 8800 in US markets and International prices are same in US and India. It wont take much time for prices to come down in India in a few weeks i bet :D

Its not jhoota dilasa :D Problem with India is that none will quote new prices unless they are able to clear old stock which they bought at Rs 15000+.

In Every city, few people have stock and rest all assemblers get from them and add their profit margin and sell.

As for www.theitwares.com, the prices are slightly on higher side there aswell. As i said, he too didnt had new processors in stock and just posted "expected prices" on his website.

Core 2 Duo E6600 was selling at Rs8800 in USA. Here is the link

As the post says "OOS : Out of Stock". International Prices of Intel Processors dont wary much so you can expect drop in prices after speculation in Indian Market is over :)

In todays TOI, Intel has given a full page ad (next to PS3's ad :D) in which they say that the intel based PC are available at never b4 prices.
PC with E4300:( is for 19990.
Prices are gonna blow us ppl up!!!

That ad shows the pc having a 945 board, and only 256MB of RAM and and an 80GB HDD...so. Its kind of tricking the public.

Reminds me of this guy who bought a quad core system with 1GB DDR533Mhz transcend RAM and a 2MB cache 120GB HDD....

Also need the price and dealer in Bangalore for Viewsonic 22'' widescreen LCD monitor(The one without the ipod dock). What about Dell monitors(same type)?

Guys no one other than the Distri's stock anything as C2D prices fluctuate on daily basis 50-100 Rs. here n there infact i was checking C2D pricing a lot last week but was getting anything the distri did not have the stock with the prices on them so the whole lamington road was'nt selling a single C2D for 3 odd days...after that www.theitwares.com and the whole lamington road got the prices but still if you visit lamington sometime just concentrate as soon as you ask for a configuration they'll start calling the Distri's in lamington with their intercom asking for todays pricing and will charge some commision on it and sell it to you its basically trading outhere and everywhere.

@ Sukhdeep where can you get E6600 for Rs. 8800 in INDIA.

Dude just check the prices with the local dealers first and then confirm it over here by saying E6600 is for Rs. 8800 you are just misleading people as they would go expecting Rs. 8800/- price which they'll never get in India right now tat may happen after Intel launches some more high end proccy's better than C2D's.

Who said, it is selling in Indian Market at Rs 8800 :confused:

READ CAREFULLY

As for your answer, Processor Prices are almost same in India because there are no Duties leived on Processors Parts by Government of India considering they are Vital part of a computer and its a Government Incentive to Boost Computer usage in India :)

As i said, you wont see any changes in Processor Prices at the moment...Its called Market Speculation. Give it a few weeks and you will see what i am talkin about ;)

See kooldude and 786, the price is 11000 and it is has just been a week since the cuts.

Give it few more weeks for the new stock to flood the markets and you will be on my side. :D

Also, the remember that the price on www.theitwares.com is usually higher than the current market rates ;)

@sukhdeepsinghkohli, even what newegg.com, tigerdirect.com quotes the prices, are almost near about 11k, may be you are right about the coming months...""suger n sweet in your mouth"

HEHE, if i could understand...what it meant :p

I still dont think there is issue with New Core 2 Duo processors. Why would Intel do it in the first place. Its just old human nature, to give themselves Dilasa by saying bakwas hain :D This is what people who recently bought E6600 at high prices saying to themselves and making rumours.

Just "maan ki shanti" The other day, i lost my wallet and my mother would help me by saying "puraaana karaz hoga beta uttar gaya" HAHA :D:D

@ Choto Cheeta - Just out of curiousity are sure about the prices is E6600 really selling for 11K + Tax ie - 11400/- if yes can you give me the dealers contact info really wanna buy one soon.

The only thing is i checked twice reagrding this with Prime ABGB Mumbai - Lamington Rd infact i did it yesterday itself but they said 13350/- and then www.theitwares.com was also selling it for 13300/- so then became quite sure abt it.

Tatzy was saying that its not possible for it to be selling at 11K now.

Anyways i'd love to see E6600 selling for 8800/-

Imagine what would happen to P4 , Dual Core may be they'll sell for 1-2 K

are you from Kolkata ?? and yes they are really selling it at that price.. any shop around Chandi market is selling C2D E6600 (@ 2.4GHz) in between 10900 to 11600 :D the place where we take all hardware quoted me 11000/- :D i trust them .. therefore quoted that price... but some others (unknow shops to me) quoted 10900/- to :D but as i never bought from them therefore i didnt write their price here at Digit :)

Imagine what would happen to P4 , Dual Core may be they'll sell for 1-2 K

before that we may see Pentium D procy are out of market :p

gr8 man i guess if thats true then obviously the mumbai market will reflect that price too soon too lets see if the price changes when theitwares update their site next.

Apr 29, 2007 at 1:26 AM
regarding TheItWares.com , many of their customers where at Forum wrote that they put some extra 1/1.5k while writing the price at their web stie, so expect a 1.5k less when u actually buy on hand from their shop :p

The 10200 quoted there for P5B Deluxe is NOT wi/fi, furthermore, itwares does not have any P5B's in stock at the moment, no model, wi/fi, non wi/fi or whatever....... they have none at the moment

There is nothing called SATA II.The HDD's correct term is SATA 3GBPS,the older SATA(a.k.a SATA I) is SATA 1.5GBPS.So there is no sata exist but its mentioned on the HDD that it is 8MB or 16MB.Where both are SATA 3GBPS but 16 Mb are surely SATA 3GBPS.
