No clue as to when the FX-55 is coming out but with the price of a socket 939 FX-53 at $830 I won't expect it to be cheap anytime within the next 2 years
altho im an intel enthusiast i say that the amd's are better for gaming.. dont get me wrong paired with a good mobo, good ram and a decent video card ull get killer perfomance out of an intel too (UNLESS ITS A CELERON! LOL)... just that it wont be as good as an amd but theres still nothing wrong with using an intel for gaming.. its not a crime lol
But really on the benches the AMD 64 3500+ beat out the high end 3.6 hyper flocker CPUs. Not to mention AMD is the only company that can make 64 bit CPUs for Microsoft.
So when Windows 64 comes out all performance baby!
thanks a lot nubius now everyone thinks im insane .. by da way.. short post for ur regular standards isnt it? haha.. and windows 64 is already out... and i like my intels ... except for my current celeron.. it sux ass lol
