    I would say it depends on how you look at it. If I wanted to build an Intel system it would cost me more. Its also a new architectural and a manufacturing process. But that being said I say that they are doing extremely well. For bang for your buck AMD is the best. I personally have a limited fund of money as a college student.

    I save up. Im currently saving to build a Bulldozer system but it wont be when they come out. Im still paying my CC bill for the C4E and am almost done with that. My GPUs have either been bought using EVGA stepup or when they were cheap on the egg. But yes this is a good setup and I would like the new stuff but saving up is what I do when I want a new piece of hardware because I like paying for it in full. Cant wait to see how you guys do with the BDs as far as clocks. Wont be buying under the top CPU again because my 1055 didnt clock like I would have liked.

    Utter nonsense. AMD/Intel systems are pretty much identical in pricing.

    The only difference is the margins of profit.
