Intel supposedly making some small changes

A friend has just put together a new computer using a i7 980X cpu. Here in Australia the chip and it's cooler/fan unit alone cost about $1600 Wholesale !!!

Overkill really. Posted a couple of pic's in the Toy Room.
 
If Intel keeps the insane pricing and socket diversity up I'm going to go AMD for my next upgrade.

Heck, with the right BIOS you can even put a current hexa on a four year old AMD mainboard!
 
Guess I will head over to anandtech to catch the reviews. I always push them to include FSX in the benchmarks. LOL.
 
What applications use 6 cores? Is windows 7 smart enough to run 6 single core only apps at the same time? How many people even need to do that?
