all i have to say is this:
1. i think [H] had a bad review and many other think this as well. good thing thats not a problem because there are many other reviews to look at so just ignore this one.
2. ram speed isn't going to make a huge change. so i don't know why anyone is arguing over this. the cpu is the device doing the processing the ram is just storing information. i think once am3 comes out and people can run ddr3 1333 core 2 will still have a lead over phenom II but the lead will be cut down and i believe the cpus will be very equal in performance with intel still having a 1-2% lead. nothing that should impact a buying decision.
