Just bought this for $104.35 with a $25CAD mail-in rebate. Even without the rebate it seems like an insane value esp. for faster RAM with lower timings and serious heatsinks. Too good to be true? Am I missing something...

Dislikes: Numbering scheme Likes: Pretty much everything else I'm guessing we'll see another round of price jockeying in the months to come. Both major manufacturers deserve some credit, this is an endlessly entertaining business war.

Update! "Hi Sir, Due to there's no stock for GA-P55A-UD7, we agree to send GA-X58A-UD5 to you as the prize." The die is cast!

Good thing they won in the end or we'd all be speaking German. Like the idiots in this video.

Thanks again, good article and smart comments. You pretty much make your bed and lie in it with Intel. Like one of the commenters, I likely wouldn't upgrade a CPU-mobo (drives and a second video card are another story) that's why the foundation of this build is giving me fits.

No. Original video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Lamandus#p/a/u/1/aTP8ikw6YXU

Thanks! A lot of people are telling me this, but I suppose I'm feeling rich because of the win, so my budget is a little higher for CPU-mobo combinations. The idea is to start on a foundation that will have some shelf life. Thanks also! Hence the pre-build angst. I did most of my...

The win's going to accelerate my build schedule slightly, but I'm not sold on LGA 1156 vs. 1366. Most of this is not practicality, but the desire to once in my life own a bombastic gaming rig in the heyday of what I call "the muscle car era" of home computing. Pretty sure as processes shrink...

But the wording is vague everywhere, I'm really asking rather than saying. It's clear the box says "Upgrade" but are MS O.K. with using the licence as an OEM for a new build? Cite for Oct. 22 speculating...

Fixed link. The data fit my expectations very well. I think the trend will shift back slightly towards nVidia (specifically the GTX460) and the drift from 4 to 6 cores will be a lot more gradual. I just added 3-4 games to my Steam account which my compy can't even play, but I'll be going...

Is this a big deal because though it's supposed to be "upgrade" the licences are equivalent to OEM so builders buy them all up? I wouldn't mind paying $50 for an OEM licence for an upcoming build since I'm not eligible for any of the student deals. In any case this isn't available in Canada...

I have about 1000 LPs and two really good turntables and a bunch of cartridges, and I gotta say, I don't believe vinyl sounds any better that digital audio. There's no reason you couldn't digitize everything you hear on a record. For me it's more about collecting/not forever starting over and...

3X the price of the new Corsair headset?

That's why I don't trust what people post in internet forums. Good job orthancstone!

Just got home in time to watch matose hoist the cup, guess it'll show up on OCTV later on. Anybody watch?

Best 'stache should get a bye to the finals! Edited to add: Ouch, 11 P.M. Friday night. I guess if I stay in to watch this live I just crossed into major geekdom. Then again, a real geek would probably figure out how to record the stream. Little help?

Haha, I see what you did here. After I respawn, I'll find a link to the rest of the post and travel laboriously back to this thread. EDIT: our post That was too easy, this probably wont get me a better sword. :D

My bad, they're $1.94 each when you buy fewer than 50. Edit: Oh, I get it, try buying 50 at that price!
