if you want performance comparable to amds quad, go get a Q6600 for 211€ (inc. 20% VAT)
amd fan boy here lol. a bmw wtf i am cheap i bought my sisters car for $500 and a sub from subway and runs like its brand new
either way looking at a few other threads. one comparing the QX9650 to a phenom at 3 GHZ there is a 1000 point difference in the cpu score, and thats separated by around a $700 price difference.
