Do that many people have money to burn on overpriced intel hardware??
Save a couple hundred bucks and get a quad core Phenom or hex core for much less and get basically the same performance.

Just finished AM3 conversion and bought

-MSI M65 mATX mobo
-955 BE
-4GB DDR3 (VR)

GPU is still a galaxy 260/216OC and I am very well aware I'll need a new one(Nvidia it will be) for SOW.
Took the mobo because it potentially could take 2GPUs, although they wouldn't fit in the current case I guess.
[Nvidia chipset would have been even cooler, but there are no mATX mobos on the market in this configuration]


Maybe s.o. can explain the advantages of an Itel CPU - because I really cant see any(other than mentioning it in the sig)
