way to be a dick... but w/e you would never say that to my face so it's all good. But anyways back to what I come to this site for... I just thought that the Turion Ultra II's seemed to be coming along OK

For the price I'd rather pay for a Phenom2 processor than even a "quAdhlon" processor!

[citation][nom]masterasia[/nom]You mean the Phenom II X4 965. Yes it's down to $215. I still wouldn't get it though. 140 watts TDP sucks. The Lynnfields are only 95 watts TDP and can perform just as good or even better.If you have a Microcenter near you, $229 for the i7 860 is the best bang for buck right now.[/citation]
The Lynnfields would be better (no problem with the i5 or i7 CPU) unfortunately there is a problem with foxconn sockets used on many brands of P55 motherboards.So right now I would avoid this platform until the problem is resolved otherwise having many pins not making proper contact is a ticking time bomb for long term reliability or over clocking if it even works.I trust CPU's with PGA's over LGA's although I haven't heard of anything wrong with the X58/LGA 1366.
