Thanks OP I've been looking for a CPU upgrade and thinking about switching to Intel and now that I don't have to worry about getting a new motherboard I'm definitely going to pick this up.

So many things wrong with that ad.

Nice find OP.

So are a lot of people moving up to these new chips or waiting until Q3? I am on the fence about upgrading, while my Q9550 is still working I know there are a lot more options out there (especially since I didn't move on the original i7's).

This.

AM3 != 1155
8MB != 6MB
3.2GHz != 3.1GHz Turbo
Unlocked != Locked

They mixed up at least three different CPUs in the description.

Damn.. If only they would make it for socket 775

Does anyone know if this will work in AM2+, at HT1.0 speeds of course.

Damnit. Did they run out of the socket 939 version?

3.2GHz != 3.1GHz Turbo

No you got it wrong too.

It's 3.1GHz with 3.4GHz Turbo Boost

No you got it wrong too.

It's 3.1GHz with 3.4GHz Turbo Boost

The way I wrote it came across as 'it Turbos up to 3.1GHz' but I meant it to mean '3.1GHz + Turbo'.

I'm really hoping they will move it to a Slot 1 board. I still have a few of those sitting in the garage....LOL

I'm very tempted to get this i5 2400 and the H67H2-I to upgrade my multi-duty HTPC/gaming mini itx system. The upgrade would be cheap too...
