Re: PC Buying Guide 2011- Q4

Well I blame windows. This new arch is a total breakaway from previous CPU archs.

Well, you can't put total blame on Windows. AMD should have thought of every situation before they actually 'release' their BD. They failed to do it properly, and as a result, BD failed.
At least that's how I think of the current situation.

Re: PC Buying Guide 2011- Q4

Or may be Microsoft fails to provide BD support in Win7 despite it taking such a long time to release. XP had got a patch once dual core CPUs came out, don't think it will be very tough to provide BD support in Win7. And it looks like AMD's claim of 10-15% performance increase is somewhat true.

Still I would have loved to see BD giving good performance rather than speculation of good performance.

Windows 8 should solve those issues. Or Windows 7 SP2?

now the main question is that is it worth buying with ivy bridge around the corner??? price of fx 8150 seems to be on the higher side, but with AMD i know it will fall!!! but intel cpus price dont tend to fall that easily!!
