One thing at a time :

Really? you dont have a decent set of drivers, no compression, and that heat remover sucks. And those benchmarks are from reference boards.

The boys at 3dmark always made bogus tests. They say its gaming benchmark. I say its a few tests , with a whole lot of variables that arent accounted for. Dont give it much credit.

That depends. If its cheaper then the 3.06 from Intel or the 3.2 then its worth it. I bet the 3.06 with DDR vs Barton and Dual DDR , barton would win. Its a processor with 33% less clock and still goes up there. Where's the problem? I cant see it. It's what they said it would be, more cache, and a few more instructions. The rest is a Tbred B . Oh yeah and no SS2.

>Its 64 bit chips are being pushed futher into Vaporware hell...

I think AMD had problems making them, and then, decided to wait until there is a bit more 64bit OS support. Nevertheless Opteron is out, and sold for a shit load of money, didnt wait long to go out of stock.
