I was thinking of buying one of these when they are released. Do you think it'll be a solid step up from the quad core extreme?

Dude, its gonna Cost £1100/$2200 for the cpu(2.66ghz)+Mobo(X58)+mem(tri channel ddr3), wait for the new Amd Shanghai chip, it will be cheaper and just as fast.

the creator of Unreal Tournament, Gears of War, etc.
do you think now is a good time to buy a new PC or should I wait for the next-gen technology? How much better do you think the latter will be?

If you need the upgrade, then it's a good time to upgrade. Otherwise, you'll always be waiting for the next upgrade cycle.

what he said....
but as the next big cycle in november only includes intel and a feck load of cash, which most of us, me included cant afford or justify atm, its a mute point.
Far cry 2 will play very well on systems a step or 2 below mine so if your setup is thusly then I would wait till next year to upgrade,...
