    Change my 955BE to an I7 930 ?

    Is it worth it ? I can get the I7 CHEAP, granted i would need a new board..i dunno, maybe i just fancy a change, i never usually keep hardware too long, so my 955BE isnt too old and should sell to somebody.

    What you reckon ? or just stick with the 955

    If you can do the whole upgrade for like £50 cheap then maybe but really the difference in power isn't that big.

    Usage?

    For gaming, not worth it.
