For every system that intel makes "smoking" after a while it really does "smoke" hehe as the bastards allways have heat disipation issues!!!
Also when choosing a processor one must allways compare the "bang for buck" scenario and intel doesnt ever get close to amd. Also its funny how they label cpu's in the amd way without specifying mhz or ghz!!!

that specific article was in maximum PC magazine. every so often they build the "dream" system in which they pick hardware based on performance with no regard for money. of course the best bang for your buck senario is what most poeple have to go with, including myself.

YEP, and Intel will be shitting themselves!!! Personally i dont see a benefit of going top end processing because if you are patient you can get that processor a few months later at rock bottom price Smile
