As my old Mum often says: "All good things come to those who wait."
But I bet these processors are like London buses.... we'll be waiting for ages for them to come along, then loads will come at the same time and we will all get confused as to which one we should be getting. Oh well, such is life!
At least with the new 9 Series motherboards coming along now, we can choose that and get ready for a CPU upgrade in a little while. That at least will spread the cost out for some of us!
