I wouldn't count on either to drop price. That's what u get in a monolopistic enviroment. I think the biggest issue is that our attitude of upgrding is misleading. For example, I know i will be upgrading next year, so I started to look for parts now. For example, I look for best prices on...

hrm i see phenom 955 on newegg for $215 microcenter has i920 for $200 for the last 3 weeks... yes its b&M and not online, but its in lot of major cities anyway, i get your point..,

I am not sure if I understood your first comment. You said that AMD stated that its not their goal to compete with i7 and that they have a hold over a specific market. As far as I know the 955 model is priced about same if not higher than i7-920, which puts it in direct competition, no? U...

thanx for the info. sounds like it will wait until then. i generally upgrade pc's every 2 years, so this just might be fine. i use i7 920 right now, dell reburb model with 12gb ram. i dont do heavy gaming but i often have 30 IE windows open and watch hd movies same time... in regard to...

Or perhaps for that matter with anything else Intel has coming up? I have a raid card I want to use but it doesn't work on intel boards without doing some funky stuff with nail polish... I want to eventually use it, probably sometime next year, so I started to wonder... cheers

I am willing to deal with most headaches for the bolded part:) I also have work discount :) in the end,to me, it comes down to $, i paid for phone about $1800 for 3 lines, in the last 2 years. most people i know will pay $5k for same thing!

I have 1 line without a contract and will have 2 more by the end of the year. But, the kind of perks I am getting and the amount I am paying, I'd ratherbe locked with Spring forever:) I am waiting new moto q from motorolla

Nice review. From a marketing POV, this explains a lot why I was able to get 620hx for $70 AR last month... They were clearing it and making space for the 2 new versions to bridge the gap:)

haha, so true! :)

well, yes, but i'll take that 860w over anything else below 1kw :) (for reliability wise)

pc power and cooling 860w is very nice also it only depends if u need best priced one, modular, and the budget size

seems to me like the only main difference will occur when the new 4/8 pin cables come to power video cards or cpu's, or perhaps the main mobo cable changes rest should be pretty good

i'll go with IPS being: LRRRLRRL p.s after reading the thread 7/8 not bad and the one i got wrong, was the one that took me longest to decide on
