@.@ gawd.. how many socket change is intel going to make la... I'm still on LGA775 and looking for an upgrade path... but it looks like going with Intel is a big risk as they'll probably change the socket before i can even go through 2 processor cycle..

Maybe you could wait till Q 2011 and see. I'm another lga 775 user. Well, it's worth the wait. By that time, direct x 11 newer cards would be out and better 32nm proc would be available.

I believe we come to the point (except for gaming, rendering, etc.) where the technology is overkill for normal usage. Seeing ppl buying i5 for movieing and normal surfing. Lots of money. doh.gif

You can always buy a lesser quad and overclock which helps. Well, still we do follow recommendations eh. Everyone been giving good reviews about i5. Even mod lex uses it. tongue.gif

Nobody knows exactly how long 775 socket would stay but I think it won't be soon. Almost every low budget intel and some mid stream users still use 775 socket. Good thing their mobo and proc getting cheaper. brows.gif

The only downside is ridiculous price of the rams. shakehead.gif

according to fudzilla i read a post a few days ago , they said that the quad core 32 nm sandybridge will be 65W tdp at best which is really cool i mean suppose if ita 2.8ghz quad core on a 65w beating i7 930/i7 860 due to new architecture will be awesome.

I really want to upgrade to i7 930 from my Q9400 to try some multi gpu setups but problem is 130w is too high for a proc also i am scared for the fact that if i upgrade now it will be obsolete by april next yr as 65w tdp quad proc will give better performance.

any news on how many pcie lanes will be supported by x68/p67 chips hopefully x8/x8/x8 minimum
i am also holding out on my laptop upgrade

Well worth the wait. biggrin.gif

Check here and here. The quaddies have better turbo boost functions and lower TDP. Don't bother with the 6 cores and 8 cores. Really not practical with us average users.

Even the laptop proc seems promising in providing better 1080p playback. nod.gif
