I don't know what to get. the i7 930 or the i7 950. I know the only physical difference in them are the frequencies. The i7 950 being 3.06ghz and the i7 930 being 2.8ghz. BUT ive heard a ton about the i7 930 being an overclocking beast, and not so much about the i7 950 oc-ability. Currently the 930 is $285 and the 950 is $300.
My computer will be used for tons of gaming, photo editing, and graphic design work. I do want to be able to overclock. Give me some feedback. Thanks!
Edit: Also, the RAM is an issue in choosing the processor. Ive seen a bunch of people with the 930, with this RAM. Since the i7's only handle 1066 RAM, some people find it hard to find good RAM with an i7. I know that if I get the 930, I can indeed get that ram. But if I chose the 950, im not sure if that RAM would work.
