I'm finally going to make the jump to an entirely new system, and have my heart set on the i7. Now to make the choice between the two sockets....
I'll preface by saying I don't do a whole lot of gaming, but once in a while I'll play a game or two. I'd rather have processor performance + a large amount of ram over a shiny gpu.
What's on the horizon for both p55 and x58? Does triple channel memory offer a big difference over double channel?
I'd be going with the i7-860 on the p55 side or the i7-920 on the x58 side.
I've been out of the loop for a very long time and apologize if I'm beating to death a question asked a million times over
Thanks!
