Sandy Bridge Motherboards

Will the new motherboards made for Intel's Sandy Bridge processors fit older processors like the i7?

No. Sockets are incompatible.

Jesus. Intel really knows how to milk customers for their money.

Yeah, all that money going to the mobo manufacturers really helps Intel lol.

More like Intel doesn't give a rat's hoohah how much the total package costs - as long as they remain the performance kings, the situation will remain the same.
