The 980/990 is definitely a nice chip and I'm not knocking it, but to recommend it at this stage of the X58 and
1155 chipsets is slightly amiss. I almost went the 980X route back in November but decided not to and see
what Sandy Bridge had to offer. I actually was trying to hold out for LGA2011 but after seeing Sandy Bridge
benchmarks I just couldn't wait any longer.
