I know that the intels are faster in benchmarks.. but lets be honest, who doesnt like the idea of a 6 core 3+ghz amd cpu for ~$200? I know I do, plus AMD doesnt care if you want to overclock (they even make the black editions specifically for that purpose)
I mean I dont know what I would actually do with that much power but that is just me. AMD does a good job staying relevant with amazing price/performance, especially when you consider the platform costs.
I have to agree with you Mitch, IDK if anyone actually gets a 5770 cause they really want one; usually it is just cause the card they really wanted is OOS (when it was new, people wanted the 4870 but got stuck with a 5770 instead, as well).
Also, WD Black drives are the *edited*. Absolutely love mine. I even have the laptop version in my laptop.
