    hell no get it now if you keep on waiting you'll never get anything remwmber technology becomes old news the day it is released

    even though it just came out intel is now working on the new cpu's so you might as well get it and be happy

    just on a side note, i was reading an article in one of my computer enthousiast magazines and it mentioned that a 2.6ghz nehelem (whatever it is) processor easily outperforms a penryn processor running at 3.2 GHZ (is there one that high?)

    I think Intel's extreme quad core processor runs @ 3.2GHz.

    And you know what Intel is going to do? Reduce the speed so that it won't EASILY outperform the penryn. That way they make more money.

    That's true, according to Intel. Intel claims it is the most drastic architecture change since netburst.
