    I recently built a machine with the Phenom 2 975 black that was on sale last week. I must say that it rocks! I have always used Intel before....AMD is pretty good bang for your buck.

    Just stay away from Bulldozer and AMD is still a viable alternative to Intel. Piledriver has a lot of work ahead of it to save the company's reputation.

    I bumped the bios OC up 10%. Not sure how high I can go but why OC when it runs everything screaming fast. Maybe I will play with it later but for now with the SSD it runs everyting at hi res without a blink..

    #6, that's about as fast as they go without extreme measures (4GHz).
