I want the i7 because my PC is not in a stable enough place for me to have it cool enough for overclocking, and i want "uber" performance. :D
also im a fan of cleaning every 1-2 months, i have animals, overclocking and this rate of cleaning with 1dog and 3 cats = BOOM. or so i would imagine.
On the ddr2 vs ddr3, ddr3 is naturally better although yeah, probably not on so much a visible front, i will have to upgrade to it though. :-)
On price, paid £75 for 1 4gb ddr2 stick, price of a DDR3 stick? £31. son of a bitch! and the ddr2 was 1066 where the ddr3 is 1333, piece of overpriced crap sitting in my machine
And yup, ive already resigned myself to the DDR2 being dead money. Shit happens, we move on and get better machines!

Uhm, the Hyperthreading on the i7 will raise temps more than a moderate OC on a 2500k, with less noticeable benefit for gaming.
