For any users considering upgrading for DCS A10...READ THIS NOW


Recommended Posts

I was tempted to upgrade to an I5 current gen now. But with Sandy bridge right around the corner, it kept me guessing long enough for this type of news to appear. The new sandy bridge will be at about the same price as current 1156 sockets and have better performance. Wait a month then scoop them up.

Do you have similar quotes for the motherboards? ;)

Especially since the 2600K is way more expensive than my current planned purchase, and we have yet to see performance numbers for it.

 

Remember: 1155 socket is NOT the same as the 1156 socket used for the i3's, i5's and i7 8xx.

Anyone who bought an i5 mobo was not looking ahead too far. Any gamer/simmer should be running a 1366 archetueture IMHO.

Well, to be honest, right now the 1366 chipset looks equally dead. :P

(And the 1156 is more efficient for most regular gaming rigs, since it integrates the PCIe controller as well.)
