i think phenom will be a better buy coz of its backward as well as future compatible platform. looking at intel roadmap...the next gen quad proc QX9770 wont be compatible with its X38 chipset. u'll hv to upgrade ur mobo to X48 to get this proc running. whereas phenom is compatible with 939, AM and AM+ platform....granted the performance is not on par with intel Q6600...but it presents the best value for money for those who wants to run quad processors on the budget...checkout tomshardware review of phenom on the links below...

Phenom is not compatible with socket 939.

Not too sure with AM2 but I read somewhere that with AM2, the CPU won't be able to individually throttle the speed and vcore of each individual core..... hmm.gif

Really bad situation for AMD/ATI....... hope they can correct the problem and introduce a working competitive native quad soon. Would be interesting to see the performance and features of phenom......

@-pWs-, still aiming for phenom? tongue.gif

Is it true that Phenom X4 can be used in most socket AM2 mobos (probably with BIOS update)? hmm.gif
