Hey adWhore! Hope EVGA's givin you a raise, lol.

But yah, I noticed them thingamajigs on the FTW and Classy. The ripple control on that board is impressive as well. You have the insider scoop, whats you're take on the platform?

I like the platform, it will not KILL an I7 but in alot of applications it can run head to head with it...


for a gamer/everyday rig it will be very nice, for a bencher.... i dunno

I'm wonderin if the cb issue is related to the on chip crap like pci/imc controllers.

[Josifek]

Totally not worth it... Ive just read a complete review on this platform and ill go either i7 or AM3 way... It just cant compete with 775 in therms of price/performance ratio... And i suppose it woth change until Q2 2010...

If they're not going ht on these I would say am3. It'll be about the same price once the shiny newness wears off the i5 chips.

Intel has marketed the hell out of these though. Have you sen how many mobo's have been dropped on launch? They'll be good for budget crunchers if the chips get cheaper than Phenoms....

[Buckeye]

At least with AMD chips you can bench LN2 at max temps.

The I5 I have kind of goes nuts if it gets near a ice cube

[Kal-EL]

Yah, nuts on the performance comparison between AMD/Intel tho

[Neuromancer]

I am still working on going i7. I will go i5 (err p55) when it is cheap enough probably. (sometime after p65 I suppose LOL)

AMD will be my main rig though, just can not live without that snappy desktop feel

[limpkorn]

I was thinking about it. Got rid of my classy and went with a Bloodrage and a more modest rig, but I still stuck with the i7 the P55 just didn't convince me.
