After reading THIS, it kind of irritated me.. (I'm Short_Cirkit on XS).. I'm planning a new build for this summer and I'm about to scrap it and do an P55 EVGA board and an I5 650.
Here's a copy of what I said..

I'm sorry, but I'm just getting annoyed that all AMD does to compete with Intel is just to cram more cores in there, or up the clock speed. Intel has hyper threading, which I think is a very efficient idea. I've been with AMD since I started with this obsessive computer hobby in 2005 and I'm about THIS close to going with Intel if AMD doesn't do something. Granted the "bulldozer" platform is supposed to have some aspect of cross-talk, but we have to wait till 2011 for that.
Sorry for the rant, but if the 975 is just two more cores and no change to the architecture, I really have no interest to try it then.
