The main advantage that Intel's resources have given them over competitors has been time to slow down and think rather than rapidly (over)reacting. Which isn't to say that pulling the new HEDT platform is a mistake (this time), but it's a bad place to be.

That sounds reasonable to me. Intel's strategy of retiring sockets before upgrading makes sense isn't new. At this point they probably consider every CPU sale to be a chipset sale.

Ye, at least for some chips. See http://techreport.com/news/32139/stuff- ... otherboard

Your i7-2600K does give you certain retro credentials but don't give up the day job.

A Plextor SCSI optical drive, nice!

SATA gave all of the benefits of SCSI to the masses while SAS is pretty much SATA on roids (more devices per controller, longer cable lengths etc.)
