I hate to say this my friend but if you are already spending that kinda money why not just get a core 2? It will outperform the hell out of that AMD. I mean don't get me wrong I want to support AMD a lil too cause it will only mean cheaper cpu prices for us all!

I was either given or got a great deal on most pieces if I didnt already have them or else I would have gone with a core 2 but when free stuff is involved or big discounts are involved it makes sense to go with the cheaper cost to you. I know it will preform to my expectations. Core 2 might be a viable option when i upgrade my sons computer to pass his down to my other son who is only 1 now. I gotta get them started early. Thanks for your thoughts
