Gents:
I see INTEL i920s / x58s are going for less-than $200 each at some brick & mortar stores. Sounds like an AMD_killer to me. I'm about to build_out new kit -- on a tight budget -- strong on FP performance for scientific calculations. I have noted INTEL FP performance far-exceeds that of AMD units .. and AMD_940 does NOT allow 8-G of hi-speed ram.
Advantage INTEL I think for non_gaming kit. On a "value" basis am I judging correctly ?
