Who's ditching current Quad s775 for Core i7?

The Gigabyte EX58-UD5 mobo I got was only £225 so not much more than a skt775 mobo now really (in fact a lot cheaper than some of those silly Asus prices for X48)and this UD5 is a really cool board as well.

Stock 3.2 or 3.333 with the Intel Turbo mode as only have the Intel HSF for now (which is surprisingly good, silent & has a cool blue LED. Yours for only £900 but we give you the CPU for free!!). Easy Tune6 tells me I can get 3.84Ghz out of my chip though but then I would have to turn the HSF from quiet to performance which is a little noisier. Not in any hurry to see how fast yet as still getting to grips with it and there are lots of new bios options which very few know much about so bit of a learning game right now.
