I have an order down for a 1090t bundle but it's on hold while I think about the i5 situation. It's driving me crazy. On the graph on page 1, they're basically equivalent to each other, but the i5 users are much louder than the x6 users, so it's hard to decide.

You probably dont really need 8 gb for this or anyother game. IF your budget is better with 4 then go 4 gig

Ive had both amd and intel. I'll jump ship if I see a amd out with a intel killer at a good price.

Same BS like AM3 - both sockets lasted only 2 years.

To me, this means whenever you acquire a new mobo, you'll have to jump for the latest.
And the leaked 'dozer performance looks promising.
