> I like the original Phenom X3 or X4 we all agree ram is the key to happiness. The debate is what offers the most ECC ram for the least $. I failed to realize the AM3 cpus accepted UnBuffered ECC DDR3-1333 like Lynnfield. To use Intel's 6 slots vs AMD 4 slots, one must use Registered ECC. So the low cost mission is something like
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W $150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808 $ 85 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131609 $ 60 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139050 But we are still stuck at 8G without going to expensive ram or a more expensive CPU.
