Oh my aching FOOT! a 3.2 Ghz FX-76. Oh this is just too much, I want the first one, oh take me take me! Let me be first in line, sign me up! I want it now damn it! Don't make me wait any longer I can't stand it !

I was saving for a 5200+, but now......

I wanted a Core 2 system but since I waited I think I will give one of these new AMD systems a shot. :D

I looked back at the first dual cores and I think I'll just stick to the dual cores at a reduced price rather than pay a gazillion bucks for a quad right now. I'd rather set up a couple of systems with a $25 case w/psu, $40 HD, $25 DVD, $80 MoBo, and a $300 4800+, than a $500 to $1000 quad chip. Oh and I have a bunch of those $70 1 gig DDR 400 sticks that only work on AMD that newegg was selling so I don't need to put any cash out on that.

I agree with the gatekeeper. Just going to be too pricey, and lots of electricity too. Who knows, maybe we will be able to get a dual or quad cell set up.

But one could go broke in a real hurry chasing this technology game trying to keep up.

[spikey_richie]

I agree, only 18 months ago my 754 3400+ was the best thing since sliced bread. Now it's FX6x... it's impossible to have a future-proof system.

and not only that, you can't buy a motherboard looking ahead to putting the next chip on it. How many sockets have changed on the amd stuff this past year? And looks what's coming.
