Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you like me were waiting on these two items? The wait is killing me but supposadly the Q9450's are going on sale 18th and some Rampage boards are hitting some sites 23rd March, thought Id create a topic for both of these and the current progress.

Let's not discuss about cheaper places, just the general topic of these two :). I was going to get an Asus maximus extreme, then I realised how pointless DDR3 is currently, then I looked at the Asus Maximus Formula NON SE, which I was all set for but now I want this new rampage, but depending on how long it takes to come out I might go for the Maximus formula instead but will defo wait on the CPU which I want to OC to 3.6ghz.

Well I have just finished ordering everything else :), woah I cant wait for tommorow, going to be like christmas morning when i was a kid :P.

I must hold off for Q9450 and Asus Rampage x48, but its hard when I could just get a Q6600 and Asus Maximus Formula x38 right now and be able to build it all tommorow.. ahhh

No graphics card no, I am keeping my Ge Force 8800 GT 512mb, not spending £200 on something I already have that will give me a few more frames, will upgrade it in 6months - year depending if its worth doing so.

I know how you feel, In my opinion ASUS is the right choice and the rampage formula x48 ddr2 for £180ish actually is great, a brilliant base for everything else another reason why I want to wait, If I have a yorkfield CPU and a good motherboard I know it will last a good long time.

Saying that, the P35 and x38 are great boards still of course
 
Hey,

Can anyone tell me the difference between the rampage quad core extreme edition and the other one, the difference in price is £10.

Also why is the Retail version of the q9450 cheaper than the what I assume is the OEM version?

Any update on the availability of these, anyone in the know? :)

I have ordered
Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Logitech G5 Mouse

Getting desperate for these two :p, I wanna build dammit!
