   :Same here Bro.I have looked over the INTEL Conroe Benchmarks and they have absolutely blown me away. :-) :-) :-) This will defiantly give AMD something to worry about. -----------------------------------------------------------I mean WoW.__[Link]________________________________________________

   _____________F.E.A.R. PerformanceIf you had any doubts about the results on the previous page, this one should convince you. Even when running a non-Intel created demo, Conroe offers a [COLOR=DarkRed]41% performance advantage over the 2.8GHz Athlon 64 X2.[/COLOR] The advantage exists in both the minimum and maximum frame rates as well.__[Quote]______________________________________________
   _____Likely I have not bought an AMD [Socket 939 System].I would have been so MAD to buy something and have it become OBSOLETE in a few months....hehI am definitely going to wait until July in Q3 when INTEL is rumoured to release the Conroe Processors... :-) Yay!I currently have an AMD 3200 + XP BartronWith a GeForce 2. 64 Mb. LoLI am glad I have Waited... this long to build a New System...The Waiting Game seems to have Paid Off![Edited by BooMer!@ on 2006-03-08 03:20:51]

   So what if the conroe can be FX60? That is not a big deal. It would be a big if its at the same price point. The true test would be the speed over dollars ratio. Time will tell.

The high end EE was not demoed but that one will run at 3.0ghz and prices for that one will be $1000. So based on the conroe benchmarks the speed over dollar ration is a huge win for intel. You should be able to get a fx60 for about $300 in the near future if amd matches intel's speed to dollar ratio.
