Opteron.

Although I wouldnt care, it's just funny as K10 was all crap, also because of the horrible temps

In the end temps don't matter, but the performace and price does.
In what applications, because that's really a very wierd statement as i7 hardly beats Yorkfield in some cases while gaming

If you've already a fully Intel system it's indeed the best way to get a PhII. Although AM2+/AM3 platform is cheap, if you've got to purchase most of it, it's still money
