Won't the i5's have on die graphics, or have I been smoking some chemicals again?
Rubbish, why not just get a Core 2?
This doesn't seem to have any place in the market...
I would also expect to see less features and PCI-E lanes on the P55 boards, in the same way that the X48 boards have dual PCI-E x16 with full x16 slots, and the P45 having 2 x 16 that operate at x8 when both used. Will likely see a similar PCI-E lane slot count on the P55 leaving the X58 with the full 2 x 16 slots or more.
Just over a year ago I spent over a grand on a 775 "flagship system" Now Here I am looking at 2 more different socket types from the same manafacturer both of which are better than mine . Well I guess I just have to give in and realise that my income cant keep up with the pace at which new technology arrives![]()
