Nice! Newegg was $319. Anyone else getting this? What MB and ram to go with?

...and here they are. Bring on the benchmarks.

Ouch, I paid $319 at newegg yesterday. The benchmarks have been around for a month. With proper cooling you can easily push 4Ghz with the 920. The motherboards are expensive and so is triple channel DDR3 though.

Fantastic price for the core i7 920

Only 4 bucks more than what Intel is charging for these in bulk....great deal.

You'll need a new mobo to go with this which is pretty expensive.

what motherboard is good for this?

suggestions for a good setup?

ASUS P6T Deluxe/OC Palm LGA 1366

OR

ASUS Rampage II Extreme LGA 1366

Both the ASUS P6T Deluxe and ASUS Rampage Extreme II have gotten excellent reviews. The rampage ii will do 3-way SLI, while the deluxe will only handle two due to slot spacing. I noticed Newegg has the Intel and MSI X58 boards out today as well. Haven't seen any reviews on them. Expect to pay around $300 for the P6T and $400 for the Rampage II.

I went with the Rampage myself because of the 3way sli. Both Asus boards are highly overclockable.

ZZF takes two days to ship. I would also read feedback related to these yahoo's. May not be worth the savings if your in a hurry or need to RMA something.

Newegg also has $20 of the combo of the Asus P6T and Intel I7 920. You waste the extra 30 bucks on the damn OC Palm display. For **** sakes people!

#9 is a retard. Here is the correct link:

#11 is right about the shipping. Newegg is much faster... $30 faster?? I'm not sure...

For all of you who own the Termalright Ultra-120/Ultra-120 Extreme click here. CrazyPC has adaptors for 11 bucks to fit your LGA 1366 for the I7

nice maybe the e8500 I've been holding off on getting will go down in price.

How about some nice price drops on all the Core2 Duo stuff, eh? Oh, and poor AMD.

...No actually you won't. They rewrote it to be fast. Listen to the Windows Weekly podcast.

Lipstick on the pig So where does this leave us? For starters, we can now say with some certainty that Windows 7 is in fact just a repackaging of Windows Vista -- an "R2" release, to use Microsoft's nomenclature on the Windows Server side of the house. Key processes look and work much like they do under Vista, and preliminary benchmark testing shows that Windows 7 performs right on a par with its predecessor. Frankly, Windows 7 is Vista, at least under the hood; if nothing else, this should translate into excellent backward compatibility with Vista-certified applications and drivers.

I love the bacon filter.
