Here's a little teaser....

My 2 cents, as a guy, not a mod:
I think people are just too emotionally involved in this.
Let's take the worst case scenario.
AMD announced before they were ready but had to provide something so they sent the best they had.
It's flawed. Ok, it is,thats life and the sun is still going to rise tomorrow.
I'm confident they will "fix" the issues and whether the final result is an Intel beater or not my guess is it will be a decent cpu.

Here's the part that I really don't like: Seeing people get into these heated arguments over this.
There's an old expression that if you don't have something nice to say then maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.
Now I know both Dave and Andy and like them both.
Good guys and both sharp but as a friend to you both I'd ask that both of you stop and take a breath.

As to Dave's comments on other forums, I'm sorry to see them but he's stating the truth. There are a lot of people here that are just that: Trolls.
Sitting back at their PC's getting their jollies from giving others grief.
Go read the news or speak freely section and daily you will see people start threads that just by their titles are designed to get peoples emotions boiling.
Trolls aren't just here, 2cpu has it's share also as I learned the hard way and I imagine that every forum has them.


Let's try and act like adults and if someone posts something that you have an issue with, state the facts, but stay away from the personal attacks.
They solve nothing my friends..nothing.
PS: If these reasons aren't enough, then I'll ask for a personal one.
I almost broke my right hand on this fools jaw a week or so ago and it still hurts like hell.
So be kind to an old guy and be nice to one another and save me some pain!

Oh,yes, before you ask..He went to la-la land..I dropped all 230lbs into that shot..
