Go with the Xeon.... it is essentially a i7 and also has hyper-threading (4core/8threads) This will be substantially faster than the i5

This will be perfect for HTPC's!!

im assuming u mean that you accidentally removed the drive software for you network Ethernet?

does it matter? u dont need to use that input..... there are plenty of other USB's. Ive never ever use the PS/2 spot on my board.

ive been using a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 mobo for the last year with both a fx-8150 and a fx-8350. This mobo is rock solid even with my overclock! http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

Thx you very much for selecting the best answer as me! :bounce:

I wouldnt try to speculate the price until some time late in July. :) But i would say similar to what they were when Llano came out. (: Remember to select the best answer :)

Well to be honest the CPU part of the apu isn't gonna be very power in comparison to a say FX performance series so i don't think bottleneck will be any issue at all. As fro the power management for the trinity well have to wait and see, if its like current day crossfire on the 7 series it...

OK, so i would suggest waiting for the top A10 apu and seeing what the best gpu that can be combined is. I have a similar set up currently with a A8 and a 6670. To my surprise it has quite a bit of horsepower in Crossfire! Plus the 7XXX series card are really energy efficient.

Supposedly there coming some time in August 2012 .....Hopefully this is true. The mobile ones were released last month. As fro the disadvantages, it would depend if its for a HTPC or a gaming pc?

Again the used out dated drivers for the AMD Graphics card!!!! UPDATE TO 12.4 TOM'S!

basically get any higher end 5XXX, 6XXX or 7XXX series AMD they can run 3 monitors no problem at all, also if ur gonna have 8GB of ram, u should be using windows 7 64 Bit. 32 bit isnt gonna see more than 4 at max.

wish they would hurry up and release this, i need one or possibly 2!!!!!!

of course i am, ive built many computer in the past and this one is just not working for me lol

of course i disabled it in the bios - i had disabled it before i even posted it here
