hello people i´m a amd since k6 processor i had 300 mhz that kick pentium ass for about one year and a half, that time the pentium family worked around 1 ghz but with a riva tnt 2 and some memory it worked well, then i moved to athlon xp 2000+ and it kept going til 8 months ago , now i have socket 939 with a 3800x2 and to me will last til next year or so , i think that amd is doing a good job , the platforms are good, we(amd fanboys) don´t need to change our hard earned money motherboard´s all the time like intel fanboys do , every 6 months intel spits a new chipset because the previous one as bugs , don´t suport 64 bit´s or sli or the chief enginner get´s sick. we amd guys like to wait and see before the buy , about am2 for a eng. sample it works quite well don´t fall behind the almost 3 year old and very mature socket 939 . There´s space for improvements and we will see by the end off the year a very good and cheap platform that will kick intel´s ass again. 😀

Are you people blind?

5.8GB/s in Sandra on PC3200 (which had to be the buffered test, right?) vs 5.8GB/s with DDR2-667.

DDR2 stinks but not this bad. It's obvious the memory controller bug has set the memory to operate at DDR2-400. I guess that's why AMD doesn't want people benching their hardware yet.

Me personally, I'm happy to wait for a DDR2 65nm AMD proc before I upgrade.

Yep, and I'll even wait a little longer to let folks do some of the fun learning processes for me - and for prices to drop a notch or two.[code:1:4f22db0064][/code:1:4f22db0064]
