How around the corner is around the corner? I have plenty of time.

Excellent build, btw. Has everything I wish I'd see on it!

Just want to know a general knowledge about RAMs: 1x8 vs 2x4, what's the diff?

Noo telling when exactly Haswell is coming, if you can wait just wait but if not, no biggie going for the current tech

Almost no different in terms of performance for normal use so just get the highest capacity you can per stick so that you can upgrade more in the future

Decided to dig a bit on Google and apparently:

Release date
Intel is tipped to officially launch Haswell chips during Computex in Taiwan at the start of June.

Speaking at Intel’s Developer Forum in Beijing, Kirk Skaugen, general manager of the PC client group at Intel confirmed the processors will start shipping in Q2.
