Ivy Bridge!
 

It has finally been released this weekend!

Anyone else upgrading?

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

No.... what is Ivy Bridge?

Re: Ivy Bridge!
 

It is the name given to the new series of chips just released by Intel. It consists of the i3, i5, and i7.

I have my shopping cart all filled out on Amazon with the chip, motherboard, a new CPU cooler, a case, power supply, 32 gigs of RAM, and a 120 gig intel SSD boot drive. All I need to do is hit "Purchase now!" when I can get the wife to say "ok! Do it! Whatever makes my Randy happy makes ME happy! I love you dear!"

I got my processor today -the Intel i7.

Along with the case, 32 gigs of RAM, an intel 510 120 gig SSD as my main drive, a Coolmaster 212 Plus CPU cooler, and a very generic DVD burner.

.....but will be twiddling my thumbs this weekend since the motherboard is arriving Monday. :(

So she said okay, dear? :)

In a manner of speaking.....

Ha! Meaning you waited until dinner was 5 minutes from being served,
daughter was hitting mom about prom, dogs were barking to get fed,
and then you slipped in and said, "Hey, I'm going to pick up that new
i7 tonight, cool? : )

My ASUS motherboard is being delivered Fedex. As I track it I see it is about a MILE from our house and arrived there at 5 am this morning. But since most of Fedex doesn't deliver on weekends, I have to wait until Monday afternoon. Grrrrrrr. Grrrrrr, I say!
