So, with the (kinda) recent release of the fantastic LGA1366 platform, is LGA775 now done? Granted, low end C2D's and Pentiums are still gonna sell well into the next year, but I'm talking about the performance sector. I've been happy with my E8400 @ 3.6Ghz for about a year now, but now it looks like I won't be able to just upgrade the processor again like I hoped. I really don't feel like buying a new motherboard and RAM kit to upgrade the CPU. Everyone knows that a $40 4GB kit of DDR2-800 is nearly as good as a DDR3-1600 kit that costs 3 times as much.
Is something like the Q9650 really the best thing I can upgrade to, in maybe a year or so?
