Hey it would be great to hear your insight on using an AMD based system after having been so long on Intel. I would be very interested to hear you opinion if the AMD system feels smoother or not.

There has been many discussions regarding peeps saying that their AMD based systems feel 'smoother' than their Intel based systems. I know I am going a little off topic, but your post, for me was unique as there not many peeps who cay say that is

'I have been on the Intel road for far too long. My last AMD system was an Athlon 2000+'

There are many who say, only benchmarks can be used to determine performance, however I am not in total agreement. With regards to non Nehelam cores, the fact that the north bridge is not situated in the CPU, for me at least means that some latency differences occur between multi core AMD CPU's and Intel CPU's.

Not all people are as responsive with regards to the environmental changes that occur around them. Personally I have often that certain notebook configarations that use an AMD single core CPU, has felt 'snapier' than faster spec-ed Intel counterparts.

Ofcourse there is a strong arguments that a more stingent test environment needs to be in place as to test why some peeps feel AMD systems feel 'smoother' and 'snapier' and I couldnt agree more with chain of thought.

However this may never happen, heheheeee



So it would be great to hear comments regarding Denebs performance once you have your system in place. Im sure you are going to have alot of fun



I cant wait to get a Phenom II, am hoping for 4Ghz stable on my WC setup with moderate voltages. Im currently running 3.3Ghz with 1.47v, prime stable, so if I can get 4Ghz with similar power consumption I will be than happy
