I had pretty much decided to use an AMD Phenorm X4 Black Edition until yesterday when I saw an Intel i7 920 on sale (online) at our local Micro Center for $229.99 . At once I started to look hard at the Intel and had almost decided to pull the tigger on it - until this morning. The price on the unit dropped $30.00 and is now priced at $199.99 . I like the direction the price is going but am starting to think there might be a problem somewhere. It's on the Micro Center web site and any advice would be very much welcome.</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P></P><P>klhender</P> Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:22:58 GMT idata 2010-01-26T17:22:58Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/First-Build/m-p/339213#M11220 <P>January 26, 2010</P><P></P><P>Hello,</P><P></P><P>My first time on this forum - I hope I'm posting correctly.</P><P></P><P>For the last couple weeks I have been preparing to build my first computer, reading and catching up on what's going on.

If it's retail boxed CPU then it will have a warrenty to cover issues if they occur.</P> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:00:36 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/First-Build/m-p/339214#M11221 idata 2010-02-06T17:00:36Z
