I can't say "to what point" because DDR3/AM3 benches aren't out, right?I'm still not sure how it will compete against the proven and CHEAP C2Q's. You can grab a P45 board for $140, a Quad Core for $200,  and 4GB RAM for around $50, and you are set with a very good gaming RIG.If you want video encoding and rendering, still Ci7 will beat the crap out of Phenom II, me thinks. So spending even $200 over AMD rig wouldn't hurt there.</blockquote>
