    Hey..Conroe pounds EVERYTHING to dust, even the €1000+ FX-60 can't compete with an overclocked E6600.

    ahh yes, but its more than double the price of a x2 3800 and isnt twice as good.

    And most people here have s939 rigs so it makes more sense to make a €150 upgrade than a complete system overhaul

    True, it's an expensive upgrade!!..i've spent some €1000 on my new parts. But it also denefits those seeking some second hand 939 gear.

    Dunno think the 939 and AM2 chips are gonna go cheaper again. Looking at the 5000+ as a reasonable buy. Thought about the E6600 but thinking of glitches on a new chipset dunno if its worth my while. Also AMD bi-est:D

    I think Amd will drop prices on parts againn, as it is they have been over-priced for a while because they could be. As for Conroe destroys all, show me your Conroe overclocks and benchmarks? Besides given samples nobodys got one.

    they'll probably drop prices on AM2 parts, 939 on the otherhand may be trickier to get as production has finished

    The mere handful of over priced boards available is whats annoying me. I need a board with 2 16x PCI-E and 1 4x PCI-E (16x length ok) and an olde PCI slot as well as the ability to get 400Mhz FSB+.

    Seems the only ones are the pricey Asus and the odd ball Intel Badaxe (also pricey). Ive read multiple conflicting reviews of the BadAxe.. some say its a great overclocking board, others like Anandtech say its so-so.

    Just as a sidenote on that statement.... Was the X2 3800+ even anywhere near twice as good as a 920D at any point for tiwce the price ?

    AMD never had much of a lead over intel, except in a couple of games and synthetic benchmarks. Now that the tides have turned all of a sudden Intel seem to be being slated for not having pulled off a 50%+ performance leap in one generation...
