I wish we had your prices here! U$S 350 for a 6950 when you guys pay U$S 100 less. That's the way it is down here.. Anyway, there have been noticeable price cuts on AMD's entire CPU line, as someone said a few posts above me, they're probably trying to sell as many PII cpus as they can.. while they iron out any last minute bugs, etc.

So, in some cases it's equal or faster than 2600k but on average slower... that sounds like it's quite close! Nice! Just to think that AMD went from not being competitive at all to being up there with intel's best is nice to hear. Oh well, time'll tell the truth... It's good to hear this, plus movieman's words and the like... And most importantly, what seems to be competitive performance at an attractive price (if what's on the rumor mill turns out to be true in the end). I'll gladly wait a few more weeks...
