    Got my eye on them Yorkfield CPUs. They're already looking more attractive in terms of price, and that can only improve as enthusiasts migrate to the I7 and I5.

    s775 is a dead platform now, if you don't need to buy in the next four months then i would hold till Intel release i5 and AMD have an AM3 Phenom II at 3.2GHz.

    either of those will be awesome platforms at a reasonable price.

    Thanks for the input guys.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Thanks to your advice I learned enough to chose the 2.86 ghz with 12mb cache on my own. They are dropping the rig off on saturday.
