    As for Nehalem, can't see myself jumping any time soon unless there are substantial performance boosts in games.

    Most importantly, how have you managed to spell 'hehe' backwards?

    So, a nehalem chip for £200 in maybe October? You're making me want to put off my planned upgrade to a E8400. Mind you with 4gb DDR3 costing £250 and the first mobos costing maybe £150 thats a total of £600. I guess it will be best to put 3x2gb ddr3 on a nehalem board so I'm guessing £300 for that maybe. It might be worth waiting til 2009 for DDR3 prices to fall some and for any wrinkles to be ironed out. Maybe a £300 E8400 upgrade now isn't such a bad idea. *scratches head* hmmmm

    Its good to see the entry level chips will be priced nicely, but still...I'm looking at the mid-range ones. Or wait a year and get the big dog at a discount.

    This site reiterated a lot of what was said here, that it's going to cost a lot to get all the new components (Mobo, Ram, etc) so Nehalem will even start up.
    I read earlier this week that DDR3 prices are starting to decline, so that's one positive.
