I'll advocate OP waits for some time let BullDozer scores hit us and then depending on supply and pricing go in for the sweetest kill, I'm not saying what you've suggested is bad, but to be fair almost both the RIGS have reached their respective EoL -- and the AMD Hexas are not good for gaming http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU/50 \ http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/146?vs=191 + please do not suggest MSI boards due to following reason -- read post by The Sorcerer http://www.techenclave.com/cpu-mobo-corner/need-help-buying-processor-motherboard-under-183565-3.html#post1728227hhhclihh said:
erformance bar has always gone to AMD since the Phenom II series was released and overall the reports are highly optimistic that BullDozer will perform at par with Sandy-Bridge, while priced more strategically. I suggested OP to hold his horses instead of jumping into the fray and regretting the decision later -- have my fingers crossed as I too want Sandy-Bridge to get completely thumped (more like my vendetta towards Intel :ashamed: ).
I did not say your configurations were bad, the rigs you mentioned are EoL -- End Of Life, LGA 1156 has been supplanted by the LGA 1155 a.k.a. Sandy-Bridge and on AMD front BullDozer is coming to the scene with socket AM3+, but in true AMD style AM3+ CPUs's compatible with previous generation AM3 boards (rumors abound).hhhclihh said:
