Have you owned an amd cpu? I had a 4400x2 @ 3.03ghz and for mostly everything including games I couldn't notice a darned bit of difference between that and my e6300 @ 2.8ghz.
Of course when the e6300 was clocked to 3.2+ghz that's a different story....
I have owned both, and it's well known that the X2's perform at rought 77% that of a C2D.
I'm just saying, why shoot yourself in the foot when you can go with a cheap, faster, and more future proof chip/socket.
The Phenom was supposed to be the best thing that ever happened to the AM2/+ boards, and that hasn't gone far.
But me and my 775 board, I've still got a 3.0GHz cpu to move up to. Thats 60% faster than my current chip was at stock.
The question is, why would you ever buy an AMD?
