If AMD would actually show some real world numbers I'd might hold it off till Q3-4 but I'm not going to wait for air....

The way I see it is that AMD is trying to compete with air and just pray the consumers are willing to buy air... That's not going to work....
Lowering your price interests the average consumer but not the majority of users found here... For now AMD is fighting a lost battle as you can't fight a giant with empty hands...
I understand your point. I don't usually buy with price as a consideration unless it's a huge difference but I do look for longevity and thats why I use dual socket workstation boards. They are built better and designed for a longer lifespan. The current clovertown boards that I use look like they will take me till at least 2009 as the 45nm Harpertowns that come next will drop right in and at most need a bios update. That's a huge plus to me and offsets the $450.00 price of the boards I have for the 2 clovertown systems.( Supermicro X7DAE and SM X7DAL-E)

Be nice, they may turn it all around in a few weeks and pleasantly surprise us.
Lets hope they do.
