ZipZoomFly.com has the new Intel BX80601920 Core i7-920 2.66GHz Socket 1366 Desktop Processor for $288 with free shipping. This is for those who are looking to build the ultimate system, not for the budget performance crowd.

    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.

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

    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!

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

    Don't be girly men.

    Get a dual socket i7 motherboard. You'll need 8 hyperthreading cores to run windows 7... and notepad.. Wink

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

    Enjoy #19.

    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.
