Thanks...
OK, if I seem confused or indecisive as to which way to go…. I am. Though I initially put a Sandy Bridge system together, I am now rethinking that decision.
One - I don’t want to be two generations behind, which is where the Sandy Bridge is sitting now that Haswell is out.
Two - As some have pointed out, there are new chips coming out later this year, specifically Ivy-E. That said, considering I wasn’t planning on purchasing my main components till around September anyway, I would be crazy not to consider the Ivy-E chips. Thus the questions on Ivy and the MB’s.
Three - Though I'll probably overclock whichever system I get, it isn't the be-all, end-all factor in my decision. Simple put, I won't be going for those uber OC speeds.
Four - As I’ve said repeatedly, it will be few months down the road before actually start purchasing the main components – MB, CPU, RAM. This obviously gives me time to see what’s coming down the road.
Five - I have repeatedly stated that I’ve been out of the game for some time so I don’t know what’s what, and how they compare to each other; thus the sometimes contradictory statements or confusing questions.
Six - I have no shame in admitting I don’t know everything, and if need be, I’ll ask questions, as well as do research.
Some are taking my questions/indecisiveness personal when I’m simply trying to gain info from the more knowledgeable users here about the current tech out.
With that I thank those participating in this thread and putting up with my questions/indecisiveness.
Thanks,
Peace
