ya...supposedly. Which is why i'm gonna wait. My QX6700 clocks higher than the ES Penryn I have so there's no need for me to upgrade in Nov.

This is what i've spent in the last 2 week:

Asus P5E3 $369
4GB GSkill DDR3 $1K
2x ATI 2900XT 1GB $1K
Thermaltake 1200W PSU $340

Total $2709

My bank account is telling me that i should wait a little bit
