How do you know?

It soudns like a good thing,.

Hopefully other cores wil ldrop in price!

[Stephen!]

Doesn't overclock well at all.

[Recursion]

ASUS are shoving warnings all over the RAM slots.

"WARNING, According to Intel CPU SPEC, DIMMs with voltage setting over 1.65v may damage the CPU permanently. We recommend you install the DIMMs with the voltage setting under 1.65v".

Can't overclock the RAM that much either.

[Stephen!]

Also, core i7 only supports DDR3 which costs a fortune.

[Jamesy]

guess this is the next big step forward. Good news for me, cheap cheap cheap 8)

Blue one is i7. The intel Core i7 both of the sigs look nice.... doesn't mean he can't 'not like' the i7.

I swear that's a very dark green, if you want to play the colour game :P There's no problem with him having them in his signature.

So what's the low down with i7? I don't really see what's really that amazing about it, but I don't really get the whole CPU thing :P
