Price of mobile phones were lowered in the budget,so they should become cheaper,but don't know how much cheaper

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.

[noob]

^^ 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.

[gameranand]

Oh thats sad but well I don't have anything to purchase in very near future so I am secure from this. I had already purchased my upgrades some months ago.:

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.

[Vyom]

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!

[Sam]

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