I'm considering two different routes for this. One is if a board goes to the OP of this thread, I'll splurge and buy a Core i7 920 and 2-4GB DDR3 ASAP. If not, I'll save my money for a bit and just grab a Sammy, then save much more. The other is just save the money and grab Core i7 when it becomes available. I see these initial i920s like the E6600s of late 2006: they'll be fast and at least decent, and they should last you a good long time. If I can get 2 years out of a chip, I'll be a happy camper. I want to see the prices on these after they stabilize--I won't spend more than $400, period, on a 1P CPU.
