this puts amd back in the race, (allthough never out IMO) this year ill be building a new rig and im waiting for the am3 version in feb... also amd should be following up with their 3 core versions when they have stockpiled enough x4's with defective cores. . 4 cores seems pointless just gives software developers an excuse to add more bloat... but thats another story :-)
Excellent write up, very useful.
I really appreaciate the views and information. More references in this would be greatly appreciated.
