Nah man is not that expensive. It's worth it trust me for the price/performance ratio.

These are msrp but give or take a little more on retail

C2E X6800 2.93GHz 1066MHz 4MB $999

C2D E6700 2.67GHz 1066MHz 4MB $530

C2D E6600 2.40GHz 1066MHz 4MB $316

C2D E6400 2.13GHz 1066MHz 2MB $224

C2D E6300 1.86GHz 1066MHz 2MB $183

I'm picking up the E6600 myself..

actually the power per dollar ratio is very close between intel and amd and amd still has the slight edge but only in price .

As a rough bangs-for-buck measure we matched each CPU's published price against its SYSMark and PCMark scores. The $999 Core 2 Extreme delivers more points per dollar (or pound) than the $827 FX-62, but only just: 7.91 PCMark points to 7.51, 0.387 SYSMark points to 0.330 for every dollar spent on the chip. Had AMD not cut the FX-62's price recently, it would have scored just 6.22 and 0.280.

I've been with AMD for awhile too but this is just one of those opportunity where I couldnt pass up. Conroe has a lot of headroom ahead than AMD (including the FX-62) I agree the price cut does help make AMD more appealing but not enough for me down the road.

Even the E6300 overclock spanks the FX-62 nearly all tests. This is not the only one, there are tons but I'm lazy to look for them.

yea tis true but then i think of the quad core amd is working on and then the droolfest begins. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif the way i see it this is intels "catchup" to amds last batch .

now lets see what amd can do with new architecture and quad core hehe its the enternal cpu see-saw
