Oh geez the coding again, anyways if it where a coding issue whats the point in buying a phenom rig for gaming considering everything is better optimized to run on Intel anyways if thats the case.

Hmmmm, so basically what we have is build Intel and get better performance in a desktop environment say 95% of the time due to universally optimized coding or buy Phenom for better bandwidth but is slower 95% of the time at the same task due to lack of optimized code.
