I just wanted to post this thread because I noticed that many people are asking should they upgrade their Core 2 Duo or Quad LGA775 systems to the current i series of Intel CPUs. Maybe it is just my opinion, but I will ask the community as a whole... what do you think?
I know Sandybridge and socket 1155 motherboards just hit the retail channels, yet they are not widely available and are very pricey at the moment. It also seems Newegg, ZipZoomFly, Microcenter and others are trying to unloaded all the LGA775, 1156, and 1366 systems with many coupons and discounts.
To me it seems like there is no reason to buy any 1156 or 1366 system at the moment unless you are using a Pentium 4 and can pick up an i3 or something dirt cheep.
What are the communities thoughts about this? Does anyone really think it wise to buy an obsolete socket right now?
