Ivybridge perf increas

That's a good point.
Really i'm waiting for the new motherboards that have the 2011 pin setup to make sure I future proof a bit too, who knows they may release the Haswell new architecture on the 2011 pin motherboards too and may just need a BIOS update to make them work. I will be waiting atleast till a 2nd revision of the 2011 motherboards before I buy anyway, just to make sure they have worked out all the bugs and maybe add some new features(eg. new chipsets that allow better overclocking or features).. If no bugs and no new features may just grab the 1st generation of the boards and save a lot of money by the time the 2nd revisions come out and people would have stated how good they are and if any problems cropped up for them.
Also the Sandy Bridge-E chips that will come out too sound tempting.

But also seems they will run very hot and demand a lot of power
.Can't win.. grr hopes Ivy Bridge comes out with some 6 cores or even 8 cores with HT and have better power and heat properties.
I'm not in a rush and will wait till they get their acts together with the cpus but the 2011 motherboards are in my plans for sure.

Don't worry, they've done tests, and 60% of the time, it works every time.
