Steve,
The interesting thing with i5-750 is overclockable. My i5-750 is
able to run at 3.6GHz daily use, and the i7-920 3.3GHz daily. Of
course all need HSF upgrade to Xigmatek Red-Scorpion.
I haven't tried Core-two-Duo Quad-core previously, so dunno the
increment with the new one. My ol
erclocking,
since they're tied to the chip's uncore clock.

yep.. from what I looked at, the i7-860 is the one to get. Like the 5850
graphics card, the i7-860 hits the higher end sweet spot for
price/performance.

Gee, James, thanks for muddying the water some more! ;-)
Actually I hadn't considered it and, from the benchmarks I just went to
look at, I believe you're correct. For the most part it is faster than
either the i7-920 and the i5-750, didn't check price but did notice that
it also runs cooler
I'm gonna say... I7-860
roughly the same price for the chip as the 920, fits the same board as
the i5-750 and is quicker than either
2.83Ghz base clock, peak of.. 3.46Ghz turboboost (IIRC)

How long until the next upgrade? If you plan to keep that chip for 4
years and the 920 is faster on most things you will be doing (based on
extrapolated data from those charts), then you're only paying $25 / year
for that. Of course, you need to be able to afford it now.
I think bang-for-you
Not that I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new upgrade, but I was
wondering what kind of performance increase I could expect from an
upgrade. Currently my fastest system is an E8500 (the other is an
E6850) and I was looking at bang for the buck. Here's the confusion,
in comparing the i5-750 and
I'm really itching to get an SSD for a boot drive on my main box. Anand
Lashimpi says that no other hardware upgrade makes as noticeable a
performance improvement. Faster boots and applications load almost
instantly. I'd like to see that myself. Someday!

Yes, it is now, but they initially bumped up the 80GB G2 at $499 for the OEM
