Yeah Intel are crazy, they design these awesome CPU's and then put such a high price tag that 90% of PC users won't even look at it.
Wait till the end of the year, AMD will probably release a similar 6 core CPU and then the prices will get more competitive.
Just need games that can maximize the full CPU, 64 bit gaming is not far away, can't wait for it
