4gig vs 6gig Memory Upgrade

[wougoose]

Sorry, but i5/P55 is just....ewwwww. (To me at least, it's a dead upgrade path, vs going 1336 i7 and having 12GB Ram (6x2Gb DIMMS) and gulftown CPUs (Six core + hyperthreading) coming out in the next year.

I'm recommending the 1156 i7 as a cheaper alternative to the 3 channel bloomfields.

Edit: After reading up on the Gulftown, it may in fact be a good idea to still go with the current bloomfield 1366 i7 and a x58 board, as the Gulftown will supposedly slap in with current x58 1366 boards with a bios update. Thanks for enlightening me Saj
