I saw on geekbench that they benchmarked a dell inspiron 580 with an Intel Core i7 870 processor. If this is possible, I would love to buy one right away, but is that possible. Everywhere I have looked, the 580 is only compatible up to the i5-760, but that is all old information. Would anybody know for sure?
