lol this is like 9 pages of just confusment, ive seen the benchies posted and they all say something different each time.
Clearly not an easy question to answer core i7 930 or X6, just seems to be you could go for any choice at this point, perhaps going amd might be better cos the newer techs always there this fall/next summer.

One reason AMD might be the better choice; rumors persist that Bulldozer will be Am3 compatible.
But, rumors are just that - rumors.

maybe easier to save the money going amd and then put that money towards ssd/better gpu.... at least u would be future proof, then again going corei7-930 aint that much more costly so once again one could choose either, full circle again

Thank you.
Big.Wayne the problem is your ignoring some people thats giving u advice and have said to do real world results from people, not posting of benchmark results from review sites.
also afew people as asked u questions including me but u ignored...

That's because you don't fit into the OP's ideologies mate.
A debate has been asked for and yet he ignores input from people who actually own and use the hardware.
Because Reviews sites do not answer back its easier for the op to post screenshots.
This thread is a not a debate....its a joke.
So again its about 100 quid.
Is this premium worth it?
Does it need 10 pages?
To some the extra is.
To others its not.
Its that simple.
