So I7 920 is the best option I have right now for an upgrade. Who disagrees?
Personally only thing that I like about all this new tech is X58 being able to xfire or SLI what you want. DDR3 blaaah, i7 meh too pricey. Just sucks they cant do like a X50 or something that runs 775 and DDR2 but allows you the xfire/sli chip stuff. I'd buy one.
