By time I Upgrade again (years maybe?) we may well have Tripple core and god knows what else. I would hate to spend £500 on a "latest" system only to then find it not much better in real life running then the 3700 for example. The Less I Spend on CPU + Motherboard - the more I have left over to stick in a Faster Gfx Card such as 6800 for example. I'll leave it for a week or so, see what happens with the Prices and then do some Online Shopping I think..
How about a compromise, what about the s939 3500 venice core same price as the 3700 but running cooler and with less voltage,so same price dual channel memory and enough left over for the faster gfx maybe
