Is QPI important when buying an I7?
 

Does the QPI bus really make a huge difference?

The 2.66 with qpi is $249 and the 3.20 without qpi is $289

Oh and then they have 2011 boards but no cpus for them

Beautiful

I assume that 2011 is for the second gen I7, yeah? Is it going to be a lot better? You would think the new second gen might drive the first gen I7 price down
