But not long after those lot the normal ones will also shift down to 32nm, but there is no time frame on that atm.

Haha, couldn't you have kept that to yourself ! I do have a little problem on the GFX card aswell, so I could wait a little I guess.

I haven't actually got round to placing my order yet, but I think I'm settled on the i5 750. I'm liking the £140 ish price tag, suits my budget well and reading in the 750 OC'ing thread people seem very happy with it...... haha, as for what I am currently running...I'm a little behind the curve atm, 2500xp barton (OC'd, LOL)... can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to building my new PC and seeing the difference. Jumping from 2500xp, 9800pro win XP to i5 750, win 7, SSD and yte to be decided GFX card, should be quite an eye opener.

i would get an i7 860

I have considered this and the xeon E3440 (4cores+4HT & 19x multi), but hyper threading doesn't seem to warrant the extra cash from the benchies I have seen, certainly not in software available today anyway. Of course if anyone knows of a good reason to go for a hyper threaded CPU I'm open to the suggestion.
