I get so confused with all the new types of motherboards and CPU's. Does this board only support i7 Intels or can you put in an i5 or i3 (which I assume are cheaper)?
Thanks for the linkage. I was straddling the fence on upgrading but finding this and a great price on a Core i7 960 elsewhere enticed me to pull the trigger. Ordered today and the Egg shipped today, both orders are due to arrive the 28th.
I was going to get this combo and the MC $200 i7 950 but now MC's price is now $230. Grrr....
Per email: 12/26 only...
Core i7-950 3.06GHz Boxed Processor

I ordered yesterday. I was on the fence about it over the weekend but decided to pull the trigger. Hopefully Sandy Bridge doesn't make me regret it. But the price was $304 shipped for the motherboard and 12GB of RAM, plus I figure $220 with tax for a i7 950. i doubt I would be able to beat that price/perfomance ratio with SB.
