$100 more (50% more price) for no improvement in performance, that's why.
Well it makes you sleep better alright.
A 100$ more for an i7 is not much when you're in building a new rig and is well spent money and a good investment for some time to come.
I shouldn't even have to defend myself on this one. The i7 was well spent money in my case and the only thing I regret to this day is that I should have waited, then I could have got the 3820 instead and maybe a better card then the HD 6950.
