Cost prohibitive. :lol:

Makes the friendly $229.00 i7 920 so much friendlier. :lol:

I know the technology is first rate, ..but someone needs to send Intel an email telling them that the global economy is currently making a giant sucking sound. :P

I'm planning to upgrade my pc to i7 920 at late spring.

The current exchange rate of my country is :evil:

But the expectation for the future is still :cry:

If you have a budget, maybe right.

Yeah ... Octo's w/X55xx's on board. 16 threads (8 hyperthreaded).

At least I'm pretty sure the Xeon's will be HT'ed...
