core i7 released on stores today

Today is the day that the Core i7 processors and the x58 motherboards are being sold online and at retail stores. This is supposed to replace the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors, but the initial price is way too expensive for many people. At the lowest price, an i7 processor and a x58 motherboard will set you back at least $550. I've only recommend these to people who are early adopters or just have a PC that is older than three years. Not all of the x58 motherboards are released yet. The rest will show up in December in time for Christmas shopping. With the economy in a slump, I suggest waiting for discount prices on the latest technology because people are holding on to their money. As for me, I'm waiting till December to see if prices drop then I might consider buying them.

Going to buy parts for my new PC

I'm going to be upgrading my PC by giving my 5 year old rig to my father. With the upcoming release of Intel's Nehalem processors and X58 motherboards later this month, I've been dying for a new gaming PC. Unfortunately, work is getting harder to find and I have to pay my bills. It is necessary as my old PC cannot even play any recent PC game. Online gaming is getting more competitive and LAN parties are the rage. I wouldn't mind attending a LAN party just to see the latest gaming rigs. Wish there were some in Gwinnett County. Anyway, let's hope that I have enough money to spend when Christmas comes around and land a good job.
