• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Ok guys. Should I buy an I7 920 now and a rockin MB or do I wait. I keep reading that the I9 will still be a LGA1366. Do we think current boards will have a bios update to support I9? Thoughts guys? LMK
 
Well lets see a i7 920 is $300, or a i9 is $1000, you decide. To answer your question X58 will be the platform for Gulftown.
 
Yes, LGA1366 will have drop-in support for the next Gulftown chips. If your system does not handle what you want it to, then you upgrade. If it does, then there is no reason to upgrade. Upgrade when you actually need to.
