Will AM2 release in June cause substantial price-reduction of 939 CPUs?

Like it says, how much (if any) of a price-reduction for 939 CPUs (and
other components) will we see in June when Socket AM2 is released?

You may see a short period of price reductions, but as supply of 939 cpu's
fall, you'll see a sharp rise in 939 prices.Just like what happened with
socket A cpu's.

Well, then, I guess I'll be pulling the trigger very soon, probably
about March 1st (hopefully) when Newegg reduces its prices in
accordance with the reduced prices of 939 Opterons shipping on trays of
a thousand to retailers....I'll be saving $75 on my Opteron 175 (er,
170?).

Hopefully Abit UL-8 PRO will be shipping then stateside, as it already
has spread from China to Australia. Come on, Abit, release this
super-stable mobo in America soon please please please please please.
