No thank you. Remember the old netburst days where heat was the biggest problem. These days are back with i7 Core. They clock nicely but need a lot of voltage and make a lot of heat. The first boards are already dying from the heat.

I think I stay with my Q9450 for a while and maybe go for a Q9650 if I want more CPU power.
Well i was referring to the ram more than anything else. For the price of the ram, which he probably won't feel any changes, a nice SSD will give him a noticeable speed boost as the bottleneck is at the harddrive level these days. The i7 is first gen product, so there are bound to be issues most of the time.
