Most of us here trashed Intel out and an Intel Fan coined the term Expensive Edition. I like Extremely Expesive model. Unlike many AMD Fans, folks didn't just accept it as OK like. Oh and no one here will complain about you thread crapping because they disagree with you.
whose thread crapping here the intel bunnies that always have to comment on each thing because they were left in the dark for some many years?

at that time maybe a dualcore was expensive indeed, but so was the intel counterpart, the memory was up 4-5 times the current price, gpu was expensive, hd was expensive hence anything was expensive.

hello welcome in 2008, it is known for many years that you always had to pay lots of premium for the best parts even today.... yes even with your oh so beloved intel, check q9450-9650 for just few % more speed, same for nehalem above 2.66 = price x2
