sucks that the FX didn't drop in price. I would've easily upgraded to an FX if the price dropped.

Huh? Unless you are buying a single core processor, you want to go Intel and the Core 2 Duo. (If you want single core, go AMD)

Anyways, yea, they have been gearing up for it, slashing products left and right, like the 1mb L2 cache and models that didn't make it to AM2. Now the question is, can AMD win....

hehe, here we go, I'll take the plunge, I will spend all my money at a new system....I mean all I keep is the case, the harddisk and the dvd rom and r/rw.....think I'm going for AMD, I always had intel. but I dont know how I can tell about the names of AMD if they are better or worse :dunno:
