Quote:I will say that the AMD Black Edition CPUs are quite impressive...I'm hoping that the Phenom BE line (as is my stock portfolio) is a turn around for AMD. :) Now that they've moved to proper stepping B3, and worked out some of the energy efficiency stepping. Also there is a plus and minus with AM2+ being a dead end soon. The plus I'm interested in is that the prices on AM2+ will drop severely allowing me to build an awesome machine on the cheap. I'm hoping 45nm and AM3 will reassert some AMD competitiveness. Intel needs a competitor.
