Nehalem OverClock

[veg1992]

Well I won't buy it regardless, tomorrow I'm buying my stuff to finish off the T.F. Rig...

and I'm most likely to upgrade to either 45nm Phenom or e9150e

how did u find out that peter is leaving i know i saw that he put retired but i dont see no thread about it

I was actually thinking that same thing when i read his sig a few hours ago.

Ya, i made a post about this already... I don't believe it myself. Intel is not that stupid...

I think it's just a "pro-amd" rumor spreading around. I don't mind really, I do hope amd comes out with something good.

So is LGA775 being phased out?

yup, that one is a definite yes.
Nehalem won't be compatible with LGA775, because of their IMC

I think their IMC will only support DDR3, which should make the cost of upgrading higher unless DDR3 drops in price significantly.

Personally, without bias against Intel, I would hold off on Nehalem and instead either keep socket 775, or look at what AMD's 45nm chips will do (which, even though they will be socket AM3, will work in socket AM2+)

We're not allowed to put leave threads anymore

but I think Nehalem is a whole new socket

I gotta hand it to AMD, at least they keep the sockets from gaying people.
