intel has regained the performance crown... (new conroe benchmarks)..

[gregggy_ph]

pretty impressive counter from the dark side..hehe...lets jus w8 wat amd has to offer..shifting ddr2 eyy..this will surely increase mem bandwidth not 2 worry bout latency coz d market s flooding wid low latency mem modules..but lyk wat anandtech said :

Unfortunately, the current AMD architecture running current applications and games doesn't appear to need the additional bandwidth or reduced latency. This may change in the future, but for now the move to AM2 and DDR2 memory looks like it will yield far too little in performance improvements to keep AMD competitive in the upcoming desktop marketplace.

Running your system at only 2.72GHz on air (stock Intel heatsink) with stock volts.......how can you put a price on this?

2x ATI x1900 cards in crossfire on stock air at only 712 core/738 mem.....$850

Stock Intel D975XBX motherboard.....$210

Taking the WR in AM3 away from AMD running with phase on the CPU and GPUs .......priceless
