This game is sooo addictive that it turns dangerous ... :rofl:

Been reading thru this thread and I'll ask you all this;
Today is Christmas, put away your differences for the day and lets have a day of peace on this forum.
Thank you.

performance is very close to a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz

i7 - i5

:shrug:

seems to me like it is slower than Wolfdale @4.0ghz??

that i5 seems to perform well
if it will overclock well, than it will bey a best choice for price/performance

32nm 6 core westmere baby!

IDK either way I have to replace my DDR2 as well. I did a price check on i7 and it would cost more than $700 to upgrade from my 3.8Ghz 9550 and that was with a downgrade from 8GB to 6GB. Now I'd think more about it with 8 real cores and 16 hyperthreading :slobber: Although I didn't account for selling off old parts.

would it be wise to hold out buying Q9xxx and a P45 motherboard till i5 comes out or should i just go for it

Get an i5 and a p55 mobo and enjoy i7 performance for less.
