on the high-range – YES! And that’s not even X48 board there yet.

which is why i personally think the i7-920 is worth getting.

920+X58+DDR3 is still cheaper than QX9770+P45+DDR2. Same performance.

@apam – good bargain ah? now? Not likely, unless you can find some good packaged deals for mobo + RAM. I saw one before but it was out of stock shortly.

@kyll – why your smiley upside down leh? anyway, USD 8k = nearly 1 Proton Saga.

@WKY – LGA775 is far from being dead. It’s the mainstream range and surely Intel’s not gonna kill it off just like that. in fact the LGA775 processors like E8400 and below are more than enough for the general public.

@Xcen – the cycle continues. Let’s see if AMD comes up with a miracle.

@iostream – I think there certainly will be more LGA775 processors, the only time it’ll be dead is when the price gap between it and i7 processors have nearly closed.

@??? – I prefer to get the mid/low ranges they’re almost always best value more $$$.

@Terance – Core2Duo series is still powerful. Even the E8600 still costs a bomb. Seriously, just get yourself a used P35 or P45 chipset board la.

great, i’m still using core 2 duo. i just hope that q6600 will not be phased out soon cos it’s the only quad cpu my mb(p965) can support

I’m with Apam I never by anything new until it’s not so new anymore, that way I can find out if it really works good or not and let other people work out the bugs for me.

LGA775 would not be a dead end, at least until Q3 2009…
Nehalem on an x58 mobo is way too expensive to build…
before Lynnfield is out, LGA775 would not be eliminated.

Intel is getting really fierce to eliminate AMD!

AMD has to quicken its pace to compete with the giant Intel. I do not like Intel because recently they were sued because of offering special prices to dealers if they promote Intel and keep AMD in the shelves. That shows that how willing are they to use dirty tactics to monopolize the market.

Sorry, Intel fans.

So socket LGA775 is a dead end now?
