I7 2700k I have I5 2600k unlocked... running at 4.8 right now. 2 GTX 470s running sli.
...and? Do you find you get amazing results from all that power?

I don't know... I know I can't go back. and I know that it doesn't lag anymore. my renderings come down quicker and larger files open quicker. however I still have files I can open and stutter it when I want.
The processor cost $225 and the cards $200 a piece. so it's not as expensive a route as some.
I have some 3D mark vantage results I think I hit 34,000 on it.

Sounds like a very reasonable route. I think at some point you simply run into a software limitation.

like you were saying about SU only using one core... you want that 1 core to be as big as bad as possible. the rest is cake. and it seems as if there is some size cutoff with SU as far as switching to boxed group instead of detailed group... and with this new processor it seems to make that leap with more ease. if I had it to do over I might go with the i7 2700k instead... but I dig this one.

2700k?

Isn't the 2700k the version which allows overclocking?

No 2600 is fixed. 2600k is overclockable.
If there's a 2700k out, I haven't heard of it yet.

Sorry, my bad. A simple google would've answered my question. I think Kris' mention have been a dose of PEBKAC

sorry I'm 100 up on both of those... I have the 2500k and the 2600k i7 is what I was speaking of last.

the k indicates being unlocked via the multiplier...
