Anyone have an i7 intel chip yet?

[Ramy]

I was wanting to know your experiences so far and what you have in your system.

I'm still waiting for the motherboards and ddr3 memory to come down just a bit before I put together an i7-based system.

 

[Ramy]

Yeah me too.

I may just wait on the sidelines 'till the 32nm core versions come out.

I was about to order one, but I decided to put it off a few months and let the motherboards stablize. The reviews of the first set of motherboards only had ASUS as stable. Now the other ones seem to have enough BIOS revisions to make them stable.

I really want to wait until they have models out with more L3 cache.

I got a Gateway FX 6800 Wednesday. It has an Intel I7 chip running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Just started reinstalling my programs and drivers. So far I am not having any problems. Some programs / drivers have 64bit but most are 32bit which are working fine (so far). Itunes has a 64 bit download. My old data from a 32 bit quad HP transferred without a problem. Some data can not run as I haven't install the program yet
