I'm not sure if I need this post in here, or in the CPU section but here goes.
I've been bouncing back and force between Fedora and Debian and decided that all in all, I prefer Kubuntu for various personal reasons and from what other OCF'ers have informed of, stability...
That being said I'm contemplating building a secondary machine with RAID (Stripe) for practical uses including work, documents, and various other light uses.
So here's where I'm at right now...I originally had my eyes on two different processors. The low-profile Llanos (While lacking L3 cache, seem very cheap and the clock/frequencies don't look half back) and the Bulldozers.
Llano opinions seem mixed but the most recent reviews I've found of Bulldozer speak of horrdenous performance issues, mobo issues (in some cases where users had to find a Phenom so they could actually boot and flash the BIOS to support the new Bulldozer chip) and many other quarks.
So with that being said I'm asking if anyone here in the AltOS world can recommend a good AMD setup. I've also looked at the Phenoms and they seem like the safest bet right now so I'm not sure. I haven't messed around with AMD's since my old 1.8Ghz Athlon...
