The costs aren't worth the extra boost of processing power Quick Path Interconnect and triple channel memory give in my opinion. From what I've heard from others stating on these forums the i5 750 Quad-Core Processor is all they need and more.
Hmm I5 has more transistors on a smaller die, thats good. Newer technology.
It's better bang for the buck, simple as that.
You keep talking up QPI like it makes a HUGE difference, it doesn't so get off it.
My build is easily $250 cheaper than an I7 920 build, and lets use rendering for an example. My setup may render about 1-2 seconds slower than a comparable I7 setup. Is that really worth $250?

is not about rendering is about multitasking that i am talking about.
If u only use 2 or 3 small programs at the same time u are ok with less hardware.
But if u gonna work with 7 or 8 medium size programs at the same time (not talking in render software thats high end size programs) u can feel a big diference in the responsivenesse of your hardware.
But like u said if Computer_Freak has a very thight budget so he can go for an I5 i guess...
I am right?

The usuall stuff that everybody works with:
For example a browser with with 15 tabs open at the same time.
Recording CD/DVDs
Compressing something with winrar
Playing a videoclip
Hearing some music
and more.
When u have multitasking going on big diferences u can see if u got
hardware there to responde or not.
I can tell u from self experience.
if your FSB/QPI is tight u can see the computer strugling to give u
the stuff that u are asking him at the same time.
Dont matter much if u have a good CPU and your chipset is crap tought.
Well as I suspected you failed to give me 8 things. Also, you can't listen to music and watch a video at the same time, kinda defeats the sound of the video right? So you really gave me 4 things, which an I5 can handle all easily.
You can tell from self experience? So you've owned an I5 setup? ...............yeah thats what I thought.

Ohh, i thought that u could figure out the rest,
U have an Anti-virus running in background,WLM,probably an Skype and
probably more..
About the music and video please dont tell me that never happens
to you that you are hearing some music and u recieve an email with video
or play something on youtube and u pause music (even if its consuming your hardware resources...)

As a User of an i5 I have the POWA! to tell you that i5 runs: Vegas, Dirt2 and Photoshop at the same time. Enough said.

i dont have a tight budget.
I just need to know whats better
Spending less is a plus, but if there is a noticable difference, ill get a i7
I dont do that much multi tasking.
Most ill do is a Anti virus scan, Music playing, Surfing the net (or just leaving it on) and playing a game...

You don't need an i7 then, save your money towards GPU.

So he bought GTX 295 to run on E6300 
Not very wise.......and 2 GB of RAM???? and 19' monitor???!!! You got some serious money to spend pallllll......

I updated the GFX card cause that was the main thing bottlenecking me in games
I will upgrade, and i know the GPU is too powerful for my system.
Thats why im buying a new processor pallllllllllll
and its an E6400. The OC has helped, but a new CPU will be best.
Nothing wrong with 2 gigs of Ram on XP...

Sure ya can,
I've watched more than a handful of basketball or football games with no volume on 2nd monitor while I listen to music or other audio files on my speaker.
You don't always need an audio file to enjoy video play on your computer.

I'm not trying to be rude Canivari but it is courteous to use correct spelling in the forums rather than the english mutilations used by many who are texting.

This is becoming quite stupid...
From what i have seen(oc,reveiws,graphs,personal testing), you wont see much of an improvement from going to an i7 oppose to an i5, there both great processors, and oviously the 920 is better, its just the price/preformance issuse, but you didn't ask that, you asked which one is better and how much of a difference there would be, the 920 is better, but no not a substanal difference between the 3.
What does it matter, you can understand what he stand right?, cause i know i can and i skim though it, come on this isn't English class.
Really dude...Is this in english? I'm not sure.
