I bought ddr400 for R200 for a 1gb stick 4 months ago at zones.

I saw a YouTube video of an overclocked i7 965 reaching a score of 33000< in 3DMark. ... ... ... Yes. I know.

Intel wishes they could beat the phenom2 x4 in overclocking!!!

I agree. The Core i7 is a beast on steroids but for that price...hmmmmm. However the Phenom II looks very promising! Definitely the best bang for your buck. Looks like AMD is starting to make a comeback.

Well really... I don't think they could give a toss whether the average consumer can afford the LGA 1337 (can't remember how pins exactly) Core i7's. They have stated it is the absolute top-of-the-line and that section of CPU's has always been hideously overpriced.

They will bring out the other ones (less pins and no tri-channel memory) later this year - and that will be for us normal folk. Then again, that could lead to AMD shifting up a gear and having it's top range (well priced) CPU's totally outdo the mid range i7's.

Hope I made sense

A day in the life of a i7 CPU

"I have all this power and no one wants to buy (read: can afford) me cause I am so very, very, very ... very expensive!"

It is just a bit overpriced, but exciting for the server space.
