Again, appreciated man!
The only thing thats tearing me away from the whole I7 route is this whole doing away with the lower end cpu thing, if its true wont I be stuck with realtively new socket which I'll need 700/800 + to upgrade just the cpu?
I must say it is tempting though, do the I7's out perform the Amd 955be by enough of a margin to make it a worthwhile choice?
My main concern is really just getting a couple of years 'trouble' free computing, as I usually upgrade every two three years.
Lol, Thanks for all this help Cat, its been a while since I built and honestly want to make the right choice!
Mark.
