[OhNoes!]

@ohnoes the cpu for 180$ was good, but the motherboard is a good 50-100$ higher than what you needed to spend on the AMD platform for the same overclock. and depending on which chip u have, your gonna be getting 3 sticks of ram instead of 2, sure its the same price per GB, but will that extra 50$ make any difference? so as a total platform cost, its easily 100$ more for the intel system, (or 25% of the total cost, 400 vs 500$), so i would hope you can get 25% more perf out of it. (or if you look at the complete cost of the PC, PSU, case, HDD, etc, then it might only be 10% more expensive)

I'm running in dual-channel mode; I have 2x 2GB G.Skill ECOs on there and still getting about equal bandwidth, plus using less voltage (1.35v for 1600MHZ 7-8-7-24) with a lot less vtt too.
