true multitasking. . .
Still ATM (I dare to say since core2duo) I think the limits on PC performance is on Hard Drives (SSD are still way too expensive. . .)
so, even if you have the most awesome processor your loading times will be limited to your hard drive. . .
Im thinking of getting a 60 GB SSD for my next build just for the OS/programs and have everything else on my regular hd. . .and this thing. . .
supposedly AMD is working on something that will "compete" with this Ivy bridge (really doubt it, it will probably beat the i7 tho)
I found it amazing how the bulldozer 8-core still cant beat any i7. . .it just barely makes it above the high- i5.

I'm interested on seeing how folding @ home will run on that. Get that CPU and 4 way SLI Nivida 680 setup with 32GB of ram. Just to run folding @ home.
Even if I have money to blow like that I wouldn't get this processor.

They're not so bad anymore. If you look for deals like Newegg's Shell Shockers, you can get SSDs for about $1/GB.

That sounds fun. I'm actually considering IB EP as an upgrade from my old single-core HT P4. That computer cost more than $1000 back in the day, and now that things like RAM are fairly low in price, I'm thinking that an IB EP build won't be much more expensive than this computer was.
