    Any new technology going to be released any time soon so there will be a pretty big price drop on the I6400/E1505, ie I might be able to get the core 2 duo for same price a regular core duo goes atm? Or should I just order straight away.

    no, intel is selling the Core 2 Duo CPUs at the same price of the Core Duo with no planned reduction in price for either. most likely, we'll see a price drop once the Santa Rose (or Santa Rosa I'm not sure) chipset is released with newer Meroms (800 MHz FSB).
