Ah, anyone who is trying to determine whether it would be wise to buy a
processor now, or wait another few months??

Horse***. Anyone delaying a purchase because of this FUD is as
stupid as they come. You?

I understand where you're coming from, Keith, and ordinarily I'd agree
with you. But today we are in a situation just a couple months short
of the rare occasion completely redesigned X86 CPU, with early reports
being VERY promising. Personally, knowing what I know today, I would
delay my purchase until these things are available, just in case they
are that much better.

I'd be waiting more than a couple of months! Let the shake-out
happen. DO you think these things are going to be free? No, buy
what you need when you need it. The performance difference simply
won't be astronomical. Those days are *long* gone.

....or wait till AMD comes back with their answer in another 6-8 months.;-)
