I had considered getting a Phenom II setup, but after a raft of benchmarks from numerous sources, i've come to the conclusion that a change to the Green side once again, would be a step BACKWARDS.

Come on AMD, pull the finger out
The reason for that is that AMD's new FPU needs a re compile of your software for it to work at max.

And talking about going "backwards" how much of a difference do you notice when you're using your computer on a daily basis? I for example always have a lot running at the same time. My experience with intel cpu's is that they get in trouble when I have too much running at the same time.

Too bad I never see benchmarks that simulate a daily use of computers.
For example rip a dvd while internet radio is on, 3 different instant messengers, 6 internet explorer windows open and many more. My AMD systems handle all that a lot smoother than my intel systems does.
