Hmmm - I would actually wait until the new Intel Chipset is officially released... then go nuts buying up on the older chipset. I can't see a performance increase that really justifies moving towards this new platform. The fact that it's really 1st Gen stuff again turns me off. I would rather push the existing chipset to its fullest. I can see myself giving the dirty eye to the P4 Extreme Editions once the new chipset is released... the price drop will be impressive (hopefully!)... Lo. |
