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....

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
