Hey Guys!

I'm building a new system for Vue! & I can't decide between i7 950 or i7 870!

Both are great performers! If I go with i7 870 build, it gives same performance, it's cheaper & uses less power but then there is 16GB RAM limit & virtually no upgrades in future!

If I go with i7 950, I can take up my RAM upto 24GB & there is at least a 6 core which I can upgrade to later! I'm not sure abt the advantages of triple channel over dual channel with Vue usage! Can you guys can tell me if you've experienced any difference?

So pls help me out with your experiences! Does i7 950 build has enough advantage over i7 870 build! Oh & I'm gonna use the GTX 460 1GB with whichever build I go & I'm not going for OC or SLI.

Thanx!
