[QUOTE="patmo141, post: 28927, member: 2560"] Hey! Nobody answered his original questions! 1) What is better, "old" Intel socket 1366 with i7 950 processor or the new 1155 socket with the new 2600K processor? -The new one is definitely better but is it worth the upgrade/price difference? YES in terms of performance per dollar. Do you need it to run your software smoothly? it doesn't sound like it from what other's have said. The 2600K has gotten EXCELLENT reviews. If you are ready to spend the money, go for it. There are some slightly less expensive alternatives (in the 1155 line) where you might want to invest the savings in a 2nd monitor. Also, the K means it's unlocked so you can overclock it if you want. If you aren't into that, no need to spend the extra bucks for the K. read the conclusion here. This article also lists some alternatives. [url=http://techreport.com/articles.x/20188/19]Intel's 'Sandy Bridge' Core processors - The Tech Report - Page 19[/url] -Patrick [/QUOTE]
