Didn't even knew there was a bundle like this, wow no wonder they did this.

I'm looking forward to the new "F" bundle. Less features, same price...

Is that what the F stands for - "Fewer Features"?

I bought a s1156 mobo with a view to upgrading later. They've been at it for years. My only upgrade path after just 1 year was via ebay.
