SOW System specs

[BadAim]

I know your question was for Tree, but I'll chime in here. You or anyone else looking at a higher end Intel rig might just want to wait for the less expensive versions of the 6 core chips to come out over the next few months, hell you can get a $1000 one now. Even if SOW is "only" optimized for 4 cores, then great you got two left over for the OS and peripherals. The story is even better with AMD for those on a budget their six core chips are in the $200-$300 range and work with most existing boards! (granted their performance is not up to Intel par yet).

For my money, I'm going to hold off as long as possible, not only to wait for specs, but also for prices to come down. I'm not worried about new tech yet as I think SOW will be out before too much happens, but who knows?
