Input: I have run this CPU for near onto three years.  I bought when it was the best i7 on the market.  As a gamer, I demand a lot out of my hardware, and this CPU has never failed to meet those demands.  I upgraded from a dual core 3.4ghz Intel, and although this runs at 3.2, loosing the front side bus was totally worth it.  My former CPU transferred data between cores at 800mhz, so no matter how fast I clocked it, there was latency built into the chip.  By building the host memory controller for the cores into the CPU, Intel was able to speed up performance significantly.  I went from a barley playable flight simulator x to one that ran smooth.  Although there are few programs that utilize four cores, having them available insures that computing will remain smooth for a while to come.  The CPU will shut down inactive cores, and boost the remaining cores internally by a percentage.  It will also ramp down the CPU if the needs are fewer than that available.  Having the Extreme version of this chip, means the core multiplier is unlocked, and the speed is really only held back by the available power, and cooling in the computer.  I have overclocked my machine to 4ghz stable.  I would recommend purchasing a third party cooler, and getting good thermal paste when purchasing this CPU as it runs hot.  I use the Chilltec thermal-electric cooler.  It combines a heat pipe, and pellitier solution that is better than most water systems, without introducing water into the case.  You will not be disappointed with this CPU.

Totally worth it
