Sweet preview (http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=6&id=2714) of MSI's enthusiast X58-chipset motherboard for the new Intel Corei7 CPUs.

I am liking it VERY much. Probably wont upgrade to that till well into 2009. You KNOW what the prices
of these boards and i7 CPUs will be. Not to mention DDR3 RAM prices as well.
Interestingly enough, preliminary tests show that this platform is only 10% faster than Intel's current flagship X48 platform.
Of course, once the chipset 'matures' that will be a different story...
-
Nice board but when the i7(yea like I know what that is lol) CPUs supposed to come out?
-
somewhere in november.... do not fear they will not be buyable by us for a while lol.... unless u willing to fork out like 1000 us for it :S
-
Nah...doh say dat. According to this (http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9235&Itemid=1), the 2.66 GHz version should be rather 'affordable'. The other two at $562 US and $999 US could stay right dey.
The mobo prices might START at $250 US.
-
Oook then I shall stick to being a few steps behind and stay with getting a Q6600 sometime next year with my mobo upgrade..
-
sweetness of silicone.. hmm.. those prices not really that bad.. with that technology, the 2.6ghz is quite suffice. If GOD spare my life and my wallet, depending on how next year swings, this might be my upgrade.
-
Remember its mobo, CPU and RAM eh...you lookin at about 600-800 US there in total (assuming you keeping everything else).
Start saving from now.
-
yay ! lol another reason for me to save well yess... at this rate i feel EP45 for me till next year yes.
N E H A L E M is the bom diggity @ 6-8 cores lol
-
hmm
what is the consensus on this 3ripple channel ddr3 thing...
and with such a vibrant push to 64bit(finnaly) are manus gonna start focusing on making good 64 bit drivers for the things we cant do without ?
-
As I predicted. The initial prices lookin kinda vicious (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/X58-Prices-Msi-Asus,6453.html). :(
-
^^let dem stay right dey with them kinda prices jeez man
-
Well what did you expect for new tech? Plus with the way things are going economy-wise, this is kinda what I would expect for a prerelease pricing scheme....that's why I giving it at least till June before considering an upgrade to the i7 platform...
-
lol... also the prices of DDR3 ram gonna increase due to the release and that done expensive. SSSo i guess is C2D + P45 + DDR2 FTW !!

explain to me how ddr3 prices gonna raise now, i really want to know...
-
well either that or it's not gonna decrease in price for at least a good 2-3 Q's.
-
Once DDR3 starts to become more available, and widely used, the price will come down.
It may only go up if there is intense demand and crippling supply.

scene scene i stand educated
