Don't give into the Intel i7 Core Hype.

Be smart and wait until the 8-core Sandy Bridge core for Xmas 2009. Thinking I'll get a Sandy Bridge CPU and than a single Radeon HD 5870 X2 compatible with DirectX 11.

I truly believe Intel i7 Core is the equivalent of a Geforce 9800 GX2. Less then 3 months later the Geforce GTX 280 OC was revealed. Intel i7 CPUs will only do slightly better performance boost.
