What though I fail to understand is, now Intel has brought E8400,E8500, these processors being clocked at 3 and 3.1 Ghz respectively, beat the X6800 at a much lower price, and beat it easily, saw the Toms Hardware CPU chart for 2007. Well what was intel's big plan with X6800? How are the people who bought these at $1000 better than the people who bought better performing processors for much much lower. Is this poor policy on Intel's part? I dont see any justification, maybe im wrong, so could you guys enlighten me?
