Gentlemen,
Please bear with me because I've been out of the game for many, many years.
One of my systems is an ASUS P6T Deluxe + Core i7-965 Extreme combo.
Are there any CPU upgrades worth considering?
By worth considering I mean this: Are there good deals on LGA1366 processors (Core i7 or Nehalem Xeon) that are reasonably priced and will be worth upgrading to?
I am looking for the type of info like (if there's such a beast): This particular [Xeon/Core i7] is well priced, low consumption, faster than your current processor and responds well to overclocking. The kind of information I can't find by reading the list of processors this mobo supports, or the wiki table of LGA1366 processors.
I would like to extend the life of this system as long as possible, so if any of you guys have followed the evolution and market of X58 based systems, I would be grateful for some advice on which CPU you'd put in this system if you wanted to max it out on that front.
TIA!
