  Continue to be mad!...Only joking...........But start saving.........it's early days yet but sandy and ivy bridge I think will be in both LGA formats

  It's the XXX-Bridge-E processor that will only be LGA2011 as far as I understand it.

Yes I would agree with Allan that the new IvyBridge processors will be backwards compatible and so you shouldn't have a problem. The 2011 socketed CPUs however will only run on their specific X79 boards . There should be more of them to be released next year so hopefully they will come down in price and be available to us mere mortals.
