Intel Core i7 upgrade for RM3,000!
Just downloaded CZone’s price list today and first thing I realize is the Core i7 blue logo. Gee… I didn’t expect it to come out to white box vendors so fast. They only published the price of the cheaper 920 at RM1,150. Since Core i7 running on a new chipset architecture, any upgrades would need a change of mobo too, which will cost you another RM1199 the least. If you are like me still running the older Pentium 4 CPU then you got to upgrade your at the same time. Nowadays you can’t go anywhere without 4Gb from RAM which cost another 540 minimum (from Kingston). So in total an upgrade to Intel Core i7 will burn about RM2,900. I not sure whether my 320Gb SATA HDD will still work or not…
