I was just reading in the new Maximum PC that LGA1156 is a dead end. They say X58 will have at least 1 more chip upgrade ,but is still a "Dead Man Walking" and that LGA 1155 will quickly replace 1156 ,which kind of ticks me off ,as I just built my Rig 14 months ago. Sandy Bridge looks pretty awesome ,But there is no way I can upgrade a new Motherboard + CPU this year. I guess realistically ,early 2012 would be the time to upgrade to the 2011 Chipset ,especially if it does actually end up having 4 channel memory .

Look at alot of OCN's members rigs, they use it, and also, i dont see it as a dead man walking, more a dead man running: They Aren't Obsolete

Tho, 1155 does have some performance gains, its still limited by the same things that 1156 was. Still only has 16 pci-e lanes, and still dual channel DDR3.

1156 socket is fine, and will be fine for a while. I don't know why, it being dead, is such a big deal. If it runs everything you want and still has plenty of room to spare, there's no need to worry about it.

Doesnt tick me off. I spent around
275 for the cpu and motherboard
99 on the ram
150 on PSU
50 on hdd
250 on gpu
60 on case
All in all i get a rig that performs just as close to a x58 socket for less. I am still able to reach 4-ghz no problem. Play all the games i want, encode videos just as quick as x58 platforms. overall i don't see myself updating until complete socket revamp.

I think it's rare that any of us 'overclockers' really need to upgrade during the lifetime of a chipset anymore. Unless the 1366 hexcores drop significantly in price, I'll be sticking with my overclocked i7-920 for the lifespan of 1366.
