Amd 965 price drop :)

[TheRift]

Not again. I have 3 amd cpus and one intel. All a dem make me smile. 5850 in the mail, had been saving for a 280 and now no need. Just do da best at the time. Dem Intel/AMD do not care about you so, weigh your rand and da work done an' its all good.

+1
or whatever your fan club recommends

With the price drop... Might as well jump ship . But I need to do my research on the motherboards available.

Pretty much what everyone has been saying and experiencing here.

Paragraph 2 sux ... I do all 3 things on my 955.

is this the same chip? Cause this chip is insane.. and for R1800? Cant be right?

So this chip is the better choice against like a similarly priced Q9400 Quad Core.

MrG, yes that's the same thing. I have a 955. Run it at 3.4GHz and it's a 965. There's not difference between the 2 except for stock clock speed.
It's excellent for the money.
