This quarter AMD took some 6% off Intel's market share and right now, they are on a roll, especially with Phenom II X4 series. With P2 X2 550 and Athlon 2 X2 250 on heavy sale right now, they are going to have another rocking quarter.

Till Intel releases Core i5, AMD will keep on eating up Intel's market share.

Bond, Desi Bond!
wow. 1200 S(c)tream processors, 1GHz memory, 1024bit wide memory, 1GHz clock. Freaking awesome.

This one definitely needs Phenom II X4 965 or core i7 to feed data :)

The return of the Athlons and Phenoms :). I just ordered 720BE and biostar TA790GXB mobo today with 790GX chipset. What card should I go for now, 4870 or GTX 260?? I think that 720 has enough horsepower to feed these cards with instructions..

OMG..

HD 4850 - 6.5k,

HD 4870 - 10k

HD 4890 - 12.8k

Prices have fallen a lot. HD 4850 which is equal to GF 9800+(?) is 6.5k while 9800 GTX+ is nearly 10k. Good going ATI.

What's ur PSU?

If COrsair VX450W, then it's your choice among the following:

HD4870 1GB
or
HD4890 1GB

Personally, I prefer the latter.
