Will you still get core i7 knowing this?

DDR3 is still way too expensive, any C2D chip (even the E2xxx/E4xxx/E5xxx budget chips) @3GHz+ is good for at least another 12-18 months, if you have an overclocked kentfield/yorkfield might as well forget about i7 until at least the 2nd revision.


4GB was barely enough for my Vista64 install, adding another 2GB made it a lot better, I'd imagine Windows 7 would benefit with 6GB+ of ram.

I could buy 4x2GB PC8000 DDR2 modules for just a little over £100, a set of 3x2GB DDR3 modules still cost a small fortune!
