Did you mean your GigaByte P35C-DS3R in your sig?

You can check here: -- GIGABYTE -- Optimized Performance for New 45nm Processors: Seems that mobo supports 45nm future CPUs....

Hmmm.... looks like our hopes for cheaper quads are not going to happen in the near future. Probably because Intel is comfortable at the top.....

Here comes a nightmare for you all.

Intel to up 45nm Core 2 Extreme prices by 50% next year

Reghardware.com reports that the upcoming 'Penryn'-based 45nm high-end quad-core CPUs may well attract an even higher price premium than before, it has emerged. INTC has apparently informed customers that next year's Core 2 Extreme processors will cost up to 50% more than today's models. According to newly released Penryn pricing data posted by a number of websites, Nov's Core 2 Extreme QX9650 will cost $999 when sold in batches of 1000 chips. That's the price point Intel has maintained for the Extreme line of gaming processors since the family was introduced back in the Pentium D days. However, 1Q08 will see the 3GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB chip joined by two 3.2GHz models: the QX9770 and the QX9775, priced at a staggering $1399 and $1499, respectively.

AMD where are you, we need you...........

with no competitor, intel can set higher price for better profit earning

E8400 3.0ghz seen good for price . hmm , dont know phonem and penryn which one c/p more good

woah then i better stick with q6600 s the only mainstream affordable quad core 4 now

and to think that upgrading to the new E6X50-cores were cheap. Penryn FTW!

if ur parents bank governor print bank notes also not enough to spend! le!

Eagerly awaiting for the price of the normal quaddies...Yikes..

Intel is really killing AMD now..

Haiz..want to buy new PC this month also serba salah sudah...hahaha...so much new stuff coming so fast..arghhh!!! my pocket!!!

nice one for new intel cpus, but the price hikes... it's a pain

i think this 1 not correct...
QX9770 should be the right 1,,,,3.2Ghz with 1600FSB..

q9450 - this 1 i think enuff for me

Yeah I agree q9450,I feel is the one that's worth the cash most.
