that's quite slow in comparison to a i7/nehalem xeon

899 for a CPU? yay!

Much better price/performance ratio, the Nehalem is what, 10-15% faster ?

i wouldn't buy the 975 either. but the cheapest i7 (920) has a very good price/performance ratio imho and it's around 150% as fast as the amd 955.

and it's even cheaper than the 955 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intel-Core-i7...%3A1%7C294%3A50)

AMD has been a bit player ever since Intel released the Core Duo, and still hasn't caught up. Their hardware is OK, but similarly-priced Intel CPUs tend to be a lot better.

You obviously never buy the top of the line, no matter who you buy from.

You have to take into account the expensive motherboard and RAM needed for the i7.

The i7 is faster (about 22%) but the Phenom II certainly is no turtle, and if you have an AM2 motherboard which can be 2-3 years old it will fit right in.

Why is that?

Because you pay crazy prices, and within not that long of time, it is way cheaper and you pay all that money just to have the top end for a couple months or whatever.

OP- I am running the AMD Phenom X2 955 AM3 3.2ghz, I love it, no regrets here, I pretty much never freeze tracks anymore.
