Bahaha, better is very vauge word. Faster clock for clock might be a much better term, but once again the whole price thing comes into play and I don't understand why intel users can't get it into their heads that we don't care if they are faster clock for clock because most likely we spent a lot less. I mentioned this in another thread. A TOP of the line 940BE system with a 940, 790fx board and 8 gigs of 1066 will run about $500, and TOP of the line i7 system with a 940 (I would use the 920, but that isn't top of the line) with an asus pt6 deluxe and 6 gigs of 1600mhz ram will run around $900. There is quite a difference there. And the same goes for a low end system, too. A PII920, 780g board and two gigs of ram can be had for like $250. A low end i7 system on the other hand is almost already over that with just the cpu.
