Hi there everyone. Just joined your site today. Been reading this site for sometime.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I would like to build myself a new Desktop PC.
I can't decide if I should go for the LGA1155 or LGA1366 motherboard.
Can anyone enlighten me on it?
If I go for the LGA1155 then I would probably go for the 2600k Sandy Bridge CPU.
Otherwise the i7-970 if I were to go for the LGA1366.
But I don't know which to choose. I use processing power, i.e. applications not games.
Anyone with advice?

Re: Difficult Decision
what applications specifically? the only way the 970 is better is if you are actually using all 12 threads or all 6 native cores
