Would you rather spend money on an i7 that performs almost same as a cheaper PhII does??? Plus on top the added cost of M/b etc
True. Well i'm folding if my pc is on so it would get me a higher score :P
But the most important thing for me is performance in games and the power it uses when running 100% load. (performance per watt in gaming)

Cant wait to test one myself.
