I had a 1700+ that clocked to 2850 Mhz on watercooling. I sold it for a pretty penny ... I also have a 2500+ that clocks to 2550 and it is one sexy chip. I refuse to build intel based machines due to the extreme premium you pay for the Intel logo ... especially when considering that there are so many chip and socket variations that are incompatible. With socket A you have a highly upgradable and customizable platform to work.

With the first A64s that hit the market they will be doing the same stupid crap Intel has done ... it is when they come out with the "Athlopteron 64" chips next spring that the socket stability will set in. I feel sorry for the Socket 7XX people that buy this fall, because they will be missing out on one of AMD's greatest benefits.
