-Lower price, which is very important for AMD today because of the competition.

The dragon platform is not only a platform but also a recommendation to customers, especially those who doesn't really know what to buy.
By choosing the dragon parts you are
1- less likely to go wrong (like OCing) if you're a noob, and
2- you buy AMD only parts.

It's the noobs that needs help to choose, not people here at XS.
ACC does not even work with Phenom II so that whole rant just went out the window.
