11. Wait for i7 but then I would need DDR3 & Motherboard & New CPU block unless they come out with new bracket to use with my D-TEC

I would not spend 250 ~ $300.00 on a 775 MB with LGA1366 around the way. I would get the CPU and keep the P965 board unless I wanted to go DDR3. I think the newer chipsets are only a refinement of old technology. With a small memory performance improvement. And, I guess PCIX 2.0.

I am going to try to hold off to next April. It will be hard, so I may not wait that long. I am hopping the i7 stuff is cheaper by then.

I want the Tri channel Bloomfield board and the cheaper Bloomfield 4 core w/ hyper-thread CPU 2.66 MHz.

After running a Quad CPU for a while, I don't think I will have anymore dual cores on my #1 PC. I have 8GBs of memory. And, I can't ever access all of it (in testing) with out the CPU maxing out (Vista 64). So, I will go with the 6GB Tri Channel.

I just think it is a bad time to spend top money on 775 technology.

Also, I would not buy any DDR3 because of the volt questions for the i7
