well from my standpoint and the reason i was talking about the future a bit, is because of SB-E, we are going to see same frequencies prob as current SB CPUs, just with quad channel and better PCI-E. i think most extreme benchers will switch from SB to SB-E, in that case its a whole other ball game. But i don't know if the SB-E will OC upto 6ghz for their best CPUs of the line, but we can hope right? If that is the case tho, then you will see all attention shifted towards SB-E, just as it happened in the P55 to X58.

BTW loud, why would i use the M4g-z if i have a sniper 2 in my main rig? lol

anyways X79 is another ball game, hopefully we will see some great products, interesting asus hasn't shown any pics yet.
