very nice price on this, the new quad core if people are upgrading the motherboard and all.
Core i7 920 at $200 at microcenter seems like a better buy (says OOS, good thing I got it a couple of weeks back), though motherboards for x58 is more expensive.
at least get a better i5 so you can have hyperthreading (not sure why you wouldn't want it)
Those of us who live near a Micro Center can get this processor for $160, or the new i7 860 (which does have Hyperthreading) for $230.
And for those of you who don't read the reviews: These new Socket 1156 processors have much lower power usage than the old i7's (and many other processors, especially at idle), and have faster single/dual-core "turbo" speeds than the old i7's. Also, they can take advantage of faster default memory speeds. And you can get much cheaper motherboards. Just to name a few of the differences.

Micro Center has some great prices right now. $159 for this CPU & $149 for an Asus motherboard, with free instore pickup. Only $337 out the door.
That's a good deal even with the high sales tax out here
Problem is I'd also need a new video card and new memory.... more than I'd want to spend right now.
Looks like a great mainstream processor, the only real drawback is that the built in PCI-E interface on the chip limits its ability to overclock. At least according to anandtech.com and I've always found them reliable.

You got to ramp up the voltage to overclock these even a little because of that PCI-E imposed limitations. The article seems to say that Intel will uncouple the PCI-E bus from BCLK in future steppings or products and fix this limitation. I might just wait until then.
