Wow! Got it Friday $230 at Newegg. right out of the box blazing fast with its new 45nm architecture. Overclocked easily (just changed CPU multiplier to 16x from 15x in BIOS) and very stable at 3.2 gHz. Great buy!
I've been AMD since they went 90nm and was happy with the X2 up until the point Intel's new chips hit the market.
I'm jumping the AMD boat just as soon as the market has settled a bit. Hopefully you don't smoke and/or in a fairly dust free zone or that cooler is gonna clog up all nasty like.

Yeah the i7 platform is the bomb(if you've got the cash)! But I'd rather support the other major competitor in the market before they go out of business and intel can raise their prices sky high

That mobo looks alot like my AV8 3rd Eye. Wouldn't be surprised at all if its an abit.

K6 was better than Pentium at that time, but FPU on K6 was another garbage, plus its design had no headroom. and lost the MHz race.
Athlon smoked anything Intel has to offer until Prescott I think, thats like 4-5 years of time ? but too bad most ppl never heard of AMD and they didn't gain much market share. Even today, most ppl still dunno anything about AMD in general, they thought Intel is the only one.
I've been using Dual Opteron Dual core (Windsor core, 4 cores in total) for quite some time. Will upgrade to Shanghai core (Phenom II) later this year with another 16 gb of ram.

Intel was **** throughout their entire Netburst phase, it wasn't until Conroe that their CPUs were worth any $$
The Core architecture (Conroe) is just "based" on it, it was mostly re-written from scratch and created a very powerful, efficient, and low-cost architecture. However it did keep some of the shortcomings of the previous architectures, mainly, it kept the memory controller on the northbridge and thus still relied on the FSB.
Which is completely engineered from the ground up with an integrated memory controller and thus ridding itself of the FSB. It's incredibly efficient at processing, especially considering it's low power consumption, and has also been shown to give a greater performance increase when using dual, or triple, video cards.
sweet, i know you like it. my friend drops kicks me in the face. it hurt at the time, but a really awesome scene. ill email my Game Master at our Dungeon and Dragons club.
I've built tons of computers for friends/family/businesses with AMD processors but never one for myself. Everytime I HAVE to build a computer for myself AMD isn't competitive.
I need to build a new computer soon though. My current one has a motherboard with a leaking capacitor.
I'm curious to see what the new intel platform will do with an integrated pci express controller built into the processor.

thats why I said its based on Pentium, not a totally new design
core i7 is new build from ground up, but integrated memory controller is nothing new.
AMD's next gen will be out next year.
