Rabbits seem to be out of season for AMD, however there could be some surprises in store. Let's just watch a bit.

The processor field seems to be in a state of flux at the moment, however that 2160 OC'd to 3.2 seems rather nice.

Nehalem isn't due out till Aug/Sept of next year. It uses a new socket, so the CPU/Mobo's will probably be released similtainously.

My understanding is that there will be two Nehalems.

The server variety will use "QuickPath" (a.k.a. CSI, a.k.a hypertransport) while the desktop variety will continue to use a FSB.

Maybe...we will just have to wait and see.

 

[chookman]

But i like speculating.

I just grabbed a Q6600 G0, that should be arriving tomorrow, and will wait a little before doing a complete system upgrade, I guess a year from now.

But I will grab a 9800GTX, or whatever is called, as soon as go out

[onestar]

Mid range is ok....if overclocking is possible.

With a smaller die you would think it would be a good OCer
