thanks for the link, z68 looks like the one to have for us crunchers. of course if the 2600K/P67 is going to be your main rig then it's a moot point because you're more than likely going to have a discrete card anyway.

I'm going to upgrade to an SSD in the next month and I think that will give me the biggest upgrade "feel" out of anything that I could change. Past that, if I'm going to upgrade I want a significant higher amount of cores for crunching. otherwise, i would have gone the i7 route a year ago
if you've skipped i7 and are now skipping early SB, then i expect you to have the first dual socket SB platform when available!!
