3: Thats what I figured when I was looking at the AMD... but the prices seemed off... and I guess they are. I jsut didnt think that a Processor that was twice as good would cost 20% less. I'm glad I'm not seeing things. That doesn, however... change my socket choices for mobos. Back to the drawing board on that.
4: As much as i7 appeals to me... the price tag simply doesn't do it for me. I can't find a single one that I would be willing to pay the price for when compared to the i5 and their incredibly affordable choices.
Find me an i7 for under $300 that puts the above AMD 8-core to shame and I'll reconsider my options. I'm aware that ARR will be capable of utilizing the full capacity of an i7... but as Cid has mentioned... and I'm inclined to agree... just because it can doesn't always mean it needs to. If the difference would ultimately be only moderately noticable with stock i7 as it would with a semi-maxed i5, I'd just as soon save the money.
Again... feel free to provide examples of how I could (and because it's you... you've already determined that I am... and Cid is also) wrong.
