quite frankly if it isnt Intel do not come out the i3-2120k that priced at half of 2500K(@ Jan 2011) I would have get 2120k instead of 2500k. (Since I will be ending up using Ivy bridge, 2500K is pretty much my "temporary" CPU)
You mentioned about single core performance, but there is a huge difference between a single core and a dual core on everyday task(window environment) because you went from single to multitask, but the performance between dual and quads diminished smaller. and there are quite a number of softwares, (for me personally) only make use of dual cores and they have no plans of getting quad cores support because of the complexity involves in recoding/scheduling assignment for 4 cores. Thats the suck part unfortunately
Prepare some money to get a new mobo too.You mentioned about single core performance, but there is a huge difference between a single core and a dual core on everyday task(window environment) because you went from single to multitask, but the performance between dual and quads diminished smaller. and there are quite a number of softwares, (for me personally) only make use of dual cores and they have no plans of getting quad cores support because of the complexity involves in recoding/scheduling assignment for 4 cores.

Some mobo are unable to support it, up to manufacturer.
