Intel really opened a can of whoop ass on AMD after taking alot of heat (figuratively and literally) with their P4's.

I'm personally hanging out for November when the Nehliem (?) range of Intel chips will be released - i7 I believe is what they're marketing them as. They don't look to be much better for the everyday user (i.e. gamer) but the price impact they have on the existing Core 2 technology should be awesome.

I'm hanging out for a Q9550 and a solid P45 board - no point going DDR3 at this point in time when you can get 4 gigs of DDR2 for $50!

Also a nice 260GTX or ATI4870X2 might be the next vid card.
