Core i7

Trin?

Wait, there's someone who's on a posting spree in bragging corner now might be the first one here to buy one

 

If you can afford go for the i7 it has the edge , remember prices will drop though....its your call

 

I think I'll wait for the prices to drop a bit.

 

I think I might skip i7 or maybe wait a long time until the extreme is ~$300

 

Well the prices here in Australia have dropped about $60 {i7 920}AUD, so here is hoping they drop some more.....

 

In malaysia exchange rate againts US are going up so it would be more expensive

Eventhough the processors are made in Malaysia

 

OMG.. i saw the i7 in action yesterday at pc fair.. 8 logical processor? waaa.. running 6 HD movies simultaneously without any lag.. somemore the task manager show only 33% of processing load.. demo by intel malaysia..

its just to demo how powerful the processor are.. not to ask for u to watch 6 HD movies at a time.. hmm.. bout the codec i didn't ask coz to many ppl squeezing to watch 6 HD movies..

 

lol, seriously..who the heck will watch 5 hd movies 1 shot?even if it's a series or something, you get like 5 different output of sounds too..ooh, not to mention, codec is important also like Max mention (meh, such a detail freak )maybe i should try later with my rig XD...
