Just recently purchased a Asus Extreme II, yeah! :D. Obviously u guyz know its bus supports 1600 MHz, and its memory up to 2000 MHz, With PCIe 2.0 on the two PCI x16!:D What!! sry got excited, as it is still being shipped :roll: But I need new processor that supports 1600MHz! Just so friggen expensive :cry: Does anyone know when they should drop, after christmas seems ideal.
IMO, kind of a silly time to build a top-end rig with Nehalem on the horizon (specifically, the Core i7's). Surely the Yorkfields (or rather, the QX9770) will be somewhat cheaper by then.
Re-read the thread. Seems you were waiting for those new processors I mentioned. Anyway, a drop in price seems unlikely. They sure are a hell of a lot cheaper than the Yorkfield's (999>1500).
I don't understand why you would buy a motherboard if you didnt have anything to use it with, by the time the CPU is cheaper, that motherboard will be cheaper too.
