That is really sweet, but I REALLY want at least a 6-8 core, so I'm trying to wait. I'm not sure how long it will be though. I doubt I can wait more than 6 more months.
What's the 'unlocked' bit all about? I usually associate that with hardware workarounds like cell phones.
I hear you man, I canceled my 980X build after reading that stuff the other day to wait for a 6 or 8 core Sandy Bridge setup myself.Quote:
