    I saw Scan had some Phenoms on today only yesterday. Prices seem good for UK. If I remember it was something like £115 for the 9950 black edition.

    How does the Phenoms compare alongside the Intel counterparts?
    Cavalier-X: Biostar TP45-HP ¦ E4600@3.1ghz - Xigmatek Red Scorpion (OCZ Freeze) ¦ OCZ ReaperX 2x2gb (792mhz @ 4-4-4--12) ¦ Xigmatek NRP-MC651 ¦
    Palit 8800gt ¦ X-fi Fatal1ty Gamer ¦ Coolermaster Cavalier 3 (Silver/Windowed) ¦
    Poseidon Magma: MSI P45 Zilent ¦ E6300@3.0ghz - Coolermaster Hyper 212 (MX-2) ¦ Corsair 2x2gb (880mhz @ 5-5-5-15) ¦ Corsair HX450w ¦
    xfx 9600gt Alphadog edition (780/1950/1000) ¦ X-fi Gamer ¦ Gigabyte Poseiden ¦

    Clock for clock they're pretty good from the limited bits I have read. It's just when you start overclocking, intel are clearly a lot better.

    Good article here

    I wonder how long it would be till the price drops take effect on e-tailers?
    I hope it would come before I get a new build
