Just flipping through and looking at the charts, the Phenom II is on the same level as a q6600 OC'd to those specs (2.8 and 3.0 ghz)?

I still like the idea of buying one but AMD still needs to catch up. This is what AMD needed 18 months ago. At least its now worth considering an AMD based PC if the prices are very competitive. A q6600 for cheaper would be a better deal.
