yeah, but you are paying 2x as much for the quad just because it's brand new, I always buy the 2nd newest one and save alot..

if you look at the test FX-74 amd's come in 2nd and cost half as much, and the FX-72 is almost the exact speed as the fx-74 in video test and it's another $100 cheaper than the 74... makes sense to get the 72 for about $400 compared to almost $1k for the Intel Quad (at least in my head)
