I'm running a similar set up to yours in respects to motherboard and CPU. Maybe a GTX560Ti/570 would suit your needs more faster video encoding? Then upgrade to an Ivy Bridge on 1155 in the spring. My speculation is that the socket 2011 boards will be costly.

Faster than the Tick/Tock strategy? On topic: With the Llano products I'm not surpised about the profits. I just helped a friend build a little web streaming box for about $250 USD and it was really cool.

If you’re a huge fun of AMD buy the chip, an AM3+ board, 1200 watt (this is not sarcastic but is it appropriate for over clocking to 4.5 Ghz?) power supply and go nuts. But for the same money ($280 USD from microcenter) I could get a 2600k, 850 watt power supply and better performance with the...

Why is that point always made? Do people buy cars based on the current speed limit? I doubt it. Not even a meager 100 hp compact has limitations like that so why buy a CPU based on that criteria? I’ll answer your question as a software engineer for the last 15 years. Who cares, spend the money...
