You should get an i5 if you haven't bought it yet.
Are you a gamer, Exo?
yes zippy but i do a lot of High poly 3d modeling which can become a huge burden on the processor..
920 is more than the 860, but the 860 out performs it right? Isn't the 920 aimed at developers? Right now, Intel offer's the fastest processors, but AMD is leading in low priced competition. Big question is if you overclock. The 920 and 860 are great for overclocking, you can hit 3.9 on stock and beyond, if you set up the case right.
920 is aimed at people who do things that require higher level processing.
