Two local retailers that control probably 80% of the market in Edmonton, Canada don't even stock AMD cpu's anymore and have them on special order only. It's crazy when you think back in 1998 when Intel's P2/233 to 450 where destroying AMD's K6-2 series and yet they kept stock on both lines. I don't have any problem with the Phenom line as they are marginally slower than the current offerings when compared to the annihilation in '98.

Wasn't that some kind of gype when am2 processor wouldn't do improved tricks on am2+ main? Well, we have heard AM3 for while & AMD is winding out some AM3 next month. Goodie? yes.yes?

This sems solid Desktop Retailer, which then Hp laps up in one dance. It took Rahaul Snood just to explain terms to Print Shop. &idewmean$.

This more of Hard guts Mag then $300 laser, yet really, in b/w?

I've been waiting for a 3ghz+ Phenoms for my CAD box to replace these old 280 opterons. This was my first AMD CAD station, and it's been the best box I've owned in 15 years of stick figure drawing :) Good news.
