Dilbert, you forgot one VERY important thing. . . I mentioned a price of $500 for the chip/board, if you look at comparable cores around $300 the AMD chips are pretty superior for everything gaming related, Intel barely eeks out a lead for certain desktop publishing apps.
I wish I had $800 (FX-60) to $1200 (FX-62) to spend on a core!
