AMD lowers their prices usually only when they launch new chips. January will 
most likely see the FX-60 and 64-5000+ launch. All existing models will be 
adjusted down. But you're looking at the second half of January with possible 
delays till mid february. 

Memory isn't gonna change much either. DDR2 prices will go down a little, DDR1 
should pretty much stay the same for quality modules. Low grade no name DDR1 
modules will probably even go up a little. 

In all, I don't think waiting will save you any reasonable amount of money...
