    Crikey that looks swish - but it'll be hella expensive.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();

    Exactly.. how much are people willing to spend on a chipset that will probably be obselete when Intel change the electronic characteristics of the chips yet again.

    there's no word on pricing just yet, but we'd expect it to be pricey
    £50?

    I'd guess somewhere around £250-£300 as well. Which is, frankly, mental. Especially as it'll be about the same in dollars. Bunch of theiving &*%$&£*F

    You think there'll be a choice? At the moment it's looking like if you want to buy a core i7 then you have to buy a premium mobo to go with it.

    Re: News - ASUS announces RoG Rampage II Extreme: armed and ready for Intel's Core i7

    Id personally say a little over £200, £250 tops.

    £300 does seem ridiculous really.

    Looks interesting. Obviously I want to see benchmarks and stability testing (in particular with RAM) before I commit.

    Don't forget, all you're gonna get on release is silly prices, and t his is the enthusiast only stuff, mainstream chips and boards aren't here until next year Q1-Q2 iirc.
