Well, I am thinking about upgrading probably sometime after Christmas from my current rig you can see in my signature. And what I had a question about was if the new Intel Core i7 920 is better than the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield? They cost about the same, but since the Core i7 is newer technology it would seem like a good idea to go with it.
And if I had missed a discussion about this in another post I apologize.
