Re: Core i7 has hit..
Will this mean a price decrease for the current generation cpu's, or is it too early to tell?

Re: Core i7 has hit..
It's true the Gigabyte has the better ram slot configuration and they angled the sata connectors unlike Intel. What was intel thinking?

Re: Core i7 has hit..
Christ for me to do it would cost 750. Haven't paid that much for a combo upgrade since 1999.

Re: Core i7 has hit..
So how long should us normal folk wait for bugs and the first gen crap to get worked out? I just got a new Q6600 a few months ago but not all that impressed with it and plan on doing a swap in a few months.

Re: Core i7 has hit..
all we need is someone to go and break one of these things and then we'll see whats wrong with it....
as it is now, no OCing or anything, it seems they do great! judging by the DH review....

Re: Core i7 has hit..
i'm quite impressed with the Q6600 all by itself stock... it's even more amazing overclocked obviously... considering how easy it is to overclock...
it's going to cost me at wholesale price, $486 for the i7 920
