When will lga 2066 mobo prices become reasonable?

[Finster_1]

Hi just wondering when if ever lga 2066 mobo prices will drop.

why should they drop? it's the extreme platform, it's not necessary in 99% of cases, it's for those that 'want' it.

How far are you looking for it to drop? I doubt you'd every see prices drop more than $20 in the next 2 years.

Its the "Premium" Socket.. it will never drop even when they are replacing it the prices will still be stupid.
