Sandybridge

[nandu26]

Is it worth to invest for new sandybridge (2'nd gen corei7 processors)?

Are they better than corei7 930/950 CPUs?

If you are getting a new rig then the i5 2500K/ i7 2600K is the way to go. (Unless you want loads of PCI-E lanes)

What's the difference between i7 2600K and i7 2600 ?

^ k is the unlocked version .. non k 2600 will be stuck at stock speed .. no overclocking whatsoever ...

This should explain why non-k marked version can't be OCed . Intel
