Hey guys, hope this is the right place to post this.
I am thinking of getting the low end Ode, and have a couple of questions. 1. What is different about the P67 LE as opposed to a P67 or Deluxe? My main concern is being compatible with the eventual Ivy Bridge cpu, or beyond. I've read that P67 mobos should work. Just wanted to make sure the LE wasn't some odd variation, lol. 2. Do you think the Ode is a good buy right at this moment? I wonder if they will upgrade the components soon, or the price will differ when the Sandy Bridge E cpus are released in a few months? Overall, is it a bad time (late in the life of too many components) to buy the Ode, or really any computer in the next few weeks? I've always had laptops. Never had a desktop, so the idea of upgrading is kind of new to me. Throws a whole new wrinkle in to research! By the way, to me the $1499 ODE looks like an amazing deal. What do you guys think? |

1. I doubt it will work with anything past ivy bridge, also today's mobo's will need a new bios if I remember correctly to run the ivy bridge cpu.
the main difference between deluxe and le/p67 is that deluxe can do sli. 2. I don't know if they will have ode for the E cpus, but they might and prices might be a little different. ode 1 is a pretty good deal. what is a good idea to get all depends on your budget and needs, but for the price ode is a great buy, and we can't beat its price with a custom config. |
