    Ivy Bridge - Wait or not?

    Hi Scan,

    I've been looking at your overlocked bundles quite a lot recently and I've pretty much made my mind up but there is one question that is always in the back of my mind: should I wait for Ivy Bridge or just go with the current Intel CPUs you use now?

    Would you be able to give me a rough idea when you will start doing Ivy Bridge bundles, will it be this month or next? I imagine you can't give any information away but I'd rather not go for a Sandy Bridge bundle within the next couple of weeks only to find out that I could have had an Ivy Bridge setup if I'd waited a bit more.

    One more question: is it worth it? Will the next gen chips provide a significant amount of performance when it comes to gaming. From what I've read and understood the answers seems to be no, not really. However, I wouldn't mind hearing it from you guys.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm in the same boat.

    But the NDA forbids them from telling us. At this stage rumours say June.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    I imagined so, thanks for the info. June seems a bit too long to wait as I haven't had a decent PC in years so I'm itching to get started again. SB will serve me well.
