I was looking to buy mobo + ivy bridge CPU and I could not find a motherboard that could drive my display that need dual link DVI or display port - most of them have HDMI that could drive Full HD but not bigger monitors (my display is 24" 16:10, so it is not something extraordinary). So I am waiting for Ivy Bridge processors and chipsets without integrated GPU (like Sandy Bridge i7-3820)

As far as I know 1920x1200 does not require DL-DVI; normal DVI should be sufficient.
You are right... Moreover I see now there are motherboards with display port :)
Are processors without integrated GPU cheaper or what?
I'd imagine they are, since they're all 2-3 generations old and relegated to the "USED" bin.
