And guys..Its not that I am in a hurry, well I am. But I am really in protest mode. Sounds stupid because it is, but I am really fed up with AMD and the service and performance I get out of my computer.. Not to mention, and I can't be sure of this yet. I think my CPU is soon going to crap out... Sometimes when I boot my computer it (AMD Overdrive) warns me about my OC leading to instability. Funny thing though, I haven't overclocked at all. Called AMD and they told me its usually sign that CPU itself is having trouble and giving false readings to other components. If you guys really think it will make that much of a difference to wait for z77 and IB then I will. But I do not see why Asus and ASRock and many other brands would advertise their boards being IB ready if they are not actually IB ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am definitely waiting now.. If my CPU does die, I will steal my 840 from my Dad's PC (I built it for him anyways lol) and use that until I can buy IB and the new boards. And ya know, if the price is high, well at least i won't be spending another $300 later on top of the SB I almost bought. Lol now I know nothing about z77 though, and I am struggling to find credible info on them. I would like to know the release date and price points, of course though any info I do find is useless because it is not confirmed... Thanks again though guys! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
