Sandy Bridge vs older i7

So back over the holidays I was toying with the idea of building a new machine for the new year, and many people suggested I wait for Sandy Bridge to roll out. Since I wasn't in any real rush I thought might as well wait and see. Now that they've been out a little while, I've seen a lot of...

New year...new machine

Hey thanks guys, Yeah obviously the big hit to the $$ is that processor. I know it's been out for a while, and hope to find some deals, so that's why I'm designing with that in mind. I've been seeing more about sandy bridge, and this means maybe an 8 core machines yes? This article doesn't...
