As we know, the X58 will become high-end in 2010, kinda like the Xeon socket. So i'm wondering, how much will cost the next X58 processor (gulftown)?? I don't want to invest 2000$ in a new system just to find out that all cpu in the future will always cost a minimum of 500$

You got two kidney's.People keep saying when giving advice on a new system to go 1366 socket because i9 is around the the corner.Most people will not be able to afford the i9 imo.

i9 is going to be really expensive. i7 is going to be FINE for the next few years. By the time i9 is affordable we will have Sandy Bridge. Don't worry about i9 if you are considering 1366. 1366 is the way to go IMO.
