Really interesting read at the <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=26899" target="_new">Inquirer</A>

My Beloved Rig:

ATHLON 64 FX 55 (will be changed for an X2 3800+)
2X1024 CORSAIR XMX XPERT MODULES
MSI K8N DIAMOND (SLI)
2 MSI 6800 ULTRA (SLI MODE)
OCZ POWERSTREAM 600W PSU

hey bull. kinda off topic, but just looking at your Rig

DONT REPLACE THE FX with the X2!!! keep the FX,

unless you're going with a 4800 you'll get nailed in performance especially in games

AFAIK, hp is the #1 seller of opteron servers. I think that Amd would rather they continue with that, rather than pi$$ing intel into "leveraging" them into a reduced non-intel situation. No matter how you look at it, Intel has clout. Stand up to them, they will knock you down, then walk all over you.

Sorry for replying late.

Indeed, I'll wait till the new socket M2 appears to make the shift completely to dual core.

Anyhow, thanks for your advice.
