na.
i thinking to go with 1055 x 2 XD

Opteron AM3 boards

but performance wise, the x6 is more or less the same with i7 860, while the price is the same in US, USD299. i guess majority will go for intel since it is much more established, x6 gaming performance is not on par with x4 or i7, dont know why. Hope AMD can catch up lar.. my next upgrade i am eyeing on AMD system.

This is where most people have a slight misunderstanding. If you have a game that runs on 4 core and you only have 4 cores, therefore your game cannot run at 100% because you have left no core for your OS, your antivirus, I/O systems, firewall, bittorrent, etc etc. They will have to share the 4 cores with your game.

This is where the additional cores come in handy, for now and the future. We are not asking people to change from 4 cores to 6. If you are looking to build a new system, like I did, then no point going for 4 when 6 is about the same price.

This is the same issue when dual core CPUs first came out. People were screaming NO POINT having 2 cores when games can't use it. Well, if the game use one, the other one can service the OS. Later the same people are the ones asking for MORE than 2 cores.
