Atm im doing some research into maybe upgrading to i7, should cost too much if i sell my current parts first etc.
Although i may wait for the lynnfields or later i7's..

But whats bugging me is what speed should i be looking for, i have an idea but not 100% sure.
As ill be wanting to go 4ghz+, which makes PCI3-12800 the maximum for a optimal OC right? Obviously depending..
So would be it be ideal to still get PCI3-16000+ for the headroom, or is that a waste of cash.

But also im looking at these motherboards with memory controllers rather than a NB, so wouldnt i be able to run memory at a higher speed then and still be stable?
