Well I just ordered a core i7 920. Yeah the mainboard is a little more expensive, but what a nice little chip for the money. The 955 and 975's are a bit hard to justify for the money though. The Phenom's certianly are cheap, but I find that once you consider the cost of the system, not just the CPU, then the AMDs are too underpowered for the money, -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
