-- Off topic --

It would be very easy for me to say that some 'members' posting on these forums are just plain stupid. But that would be too easy.

Why do I say this, well....

Its quite clear to the informed person that Phenom II is exactly where AMD wants it. The gains they have made through tweaking this architecture with limited resources whose basis started with K8 is commendable.

However some peeps seem intent on only posting negative comments regarding what AMD are trying to achieve. Now......

The conclusion I have come to, is that the majority of the peeps who fall into the negative category are composed of the following groups.

1/ Way too big egos
2/ Way too attached to a hardware company
3/ Have too much Intel stock

Please, can you guys at least stop being so negative in this thread? As other members have pointed out, if you want to be negative about the Phenom II then start your own thread title, 'Phenom II, my negative thoughts' and you can all talk you want in those threads about how 'bad' the Phenom II is.

Im ruling out that they are stupid.

Peeps who want to constructively discuss your points can join your thread, leaving the rest of us who want to read about the 'good' things bypass all your negativity.

At the end of they day, more choices are better for all of us.....

Now back on topic.....

A few reviews showed exactly what the majority of normal users would want from a quad core processor, that is, to be able to use their PC's with a multitude of tasks and not have any slow downs.

The results are quite clear, that K10 based processors are very good at this! This was the main reason I picked the 9950 in my sig over the Q6600. The performance you get in multitasking for the price you pay is excellent



It would be appreciated that people participated positivly in this thread, rather then just spewing their negative thoughts all over it
