It is! But the Nehalems truly have really great enhancements over the previous generation - I know from personal experience and extensive testing information that the overall improvements in efficiency, performance and power consumption are extremely good. However it is also true that AMD appears to be catching up with the Phenom2 series. Regards, Moinak, -- ================================ http://www.belenix.org/ http://moinakg.wordpress.com/
