Brother_Esau There are many that don't wear green blinders, and actually research things before they buy. He's right. It would be rediculous for him to buy a Ph2 at that price point when a Q6600 would outperform it. He didn't say anything about an i7, though I can see why you'd divert the subject. He can buy a full bare bones Q6600 system and have a very cost effective system.

Of course he could also buy that i7 system you mentioned at the higher price point and would be in a completely different league. Bringing up i7's in an AMD Thread is not a real smart move when the benchmarks are now out. You may not be aware of it, but it's not looking too good for AMD right now. That definitely won't make AMD look any better, and right now is not a good time to be posting stuff that's gonna further hurt AMD's sales.

Many of us do not want to see anything bad happen to AMD. Posting fanboy BS is only further hurting them.
