Times change you know, one year Intel may have horrible chips for the money, next Intel will have the best. You can't escape the fact that the C2D is the best price/performance chip out there right now.Oh really...I've always had the best results with AMD. They have been far better then those Intel models I had years back. AMD saved the day! We'll see when the Quad core models are out what happens to C2s then. AMD has always been known as the performance brand. I'll just wait for their better days ahead.
I don't know what the huge deal is with the 4x4, you can buy dual and quad socket motherboards right now that you can use in a desktop case, and use quad Opteron's or Xeon's in...

Jump down to the GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150182 for $150, and bump the CPU up to the E6300.
It will be worth it cause you can always upgrade your video card.

I'm not trying to escape anything(alcatraz level please!
). I just could not do without an... "AMD" model cpu in my build! Meanwhile the quad core models coming out soon are for "server" not gaming cases. I'm still waiting to what newer FX models AMD will come out with.

Sorry, but I feel so bad for all of you AMD fanboys. With $1500, you should spend at least $200 on a processor!!!! That leaves you with either the E6300 or the E6400. Overclock a bit, and then you will be creaming any AMD dual core processor out. Instead of spending $300+ on a junky FX62, spend less a intel model, and then you can spend more where it matters, ie, memory, videocard, motherboard, and PSU.
You won't have to worry too much about that anymore!
Have you seen the latest on the ATI/AMD plans with "Fusion"? That's where graphics become part of the cpu itself. Who needs to spend big money on a video card when the cpu will takeover?
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543~113741,00.html C2 will probably get lft in the fallout.http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4696
Fusion will take awhile there for it to be seen after the development problems are worked out. The idea there is to enhance graphics and 3D support by having a small portion of the cpu chip(like adding another core?) be dedicated to that. It will be something to see when they get it worked out. You may be looking at 2008 or '09 before those are marketed.
