obviously we could come up with some other applications where the difference would be more noticable, but for gaming the max difference between the 2500k and the 2600k is about 6-7% in fallout 3, with the median being more of a 1-3% increase.
I myself will be buying a 2500k in june, and probably pairing it with a 6950 (most likely to pair it with the firmware upgrade to make it a 6970).
i am interested in seeing the z68 chipset motherboards come out as well, mainly for the SSD caching, though we will have to wait for the reviews to come out to see if works as advertised. though to be fair, i say this as someone who has a 60GB vertex2 as my boot drive on my main machine currently, so its more or less the perfect size to use as a cache.
