expensive, no real performance gain, can anyone see themselves making the switch anytime soon? :question:

Nope - I'm waiting for i7 and DDR3 to come into it properly, then snapping up the cheap 775 CPUs and DDR2 ram while I have the chance.

Q9xxx and 4/8gb DDR2, and a 4750 (to be doubled up on later) will last me a good couple of years I reckon. Then I can upgrade the board, cpu and ram when the new stuff gets down to the £100 cpu, £60 board and £40 ram levels (or some combo thereof) and upgrade the whole thing to "as new" for £200. Job done :)

Or to put it another way "not yet" (might have been quicker to say that first, eh?)
