These people making all this fuss over sandy bridge are proving that people are still cattle when it comes to computers.

Baaaa!

Hahaha Ruby: "penis ignition" that is a new and wonderful term.

Well I suppose it can be simulated like this example:

That's considerably more power than the previous example. Hog intestine (casing) is also a lot more resistant to flashover than say a bare penis.

Baaaa!

Moo?

I haven't followed too closely, but I am not sure what the big deal is with Sandy Bridge. Can anyone explain it to me? Also, what is the difference between the i7-2600 and the i7-2600K? Is the 2600K unlocked?

K series "unlocked, unleashed" per Intel.

If you have a 775 platform (core2 duo, core2 quad) I suppose it makes sense if you want to upgrade. Current 1156 and especially 1366 users won't want it. Ivy bridge will take care of those.

Honestly, I don't need to upgrade. An E8400 at 4 Ghz is still plenty fast for everything I do especially since I added the 6870. In all honesty, though, I got that more for DX11 than anything else.

SSD! It is the way!

Now, even though I don't NEED to upgrade, that doesn't mean I don't WANT to upgrade. I love new toys and gadgets but if I am honest with myself, I've been moving away from PC gaming and even if I don't move completely away, it seems most of the games being released today are console ports which really don't push my current system.

Sure it will be plenty fast for most tasks. The software has not caught up with using multiple cores to make >4 cores an absolute necessity. Single threaded apps "waste" the second core on duallies! D:

I've got $200+ in Amazon cards to use still. I've been debating what to do with them:

1. Hold on to them and accumulate more of them until I find something I want/need.
2. Thinking that I might break down and upgrade at the end of the year, use it for a component that would transition to my next PC but wouldn't be obsolete within a year. A good power supply is an example.
3. SSD.
4. A new watch.

That's my thinking as well. I haven't kept up with all of the new games, but AFAIK, the only newer game to take advantage of >2 cores that I actually play is Battlefield:Bad Company 2 and my rig plays that well right now.

As hard as it is to resist my geek instincts, I feel that I need to wait to see what S2011 will offer.

Pretty much this. It would be a good upgrade for my CPU but I badly need hard drive space and my WHS license first

You've already heard my thoughts on an SSD.
