I'm still with AMD, I've only ever owned one Intel chip, a 200MMX back in the 90's sometime, remember the old socket 7 boards, you could have either an Intel or AMD chip in there, they were cool, I'm looking to upgrade round about March April time, i will see what AMD have but as things are at the moment it looks like I will be having only my 2nd Intel chip ever.

Dude, unlock that chip!!! I have my 960T X4 3ghz @ X6 4ghz + OC'd Cpu-Nb @ 2800 odd
Unfortunately I don't think I can unlock this one. I manage to unlock it via bios, and during the reboot it says x6 cores, but during the windows loading screen it always seems to blue screen, even when I change the voltage.

Ahhhh unlucky, although unless you play BF3 or do a lot of production work, X4 is as good

A8 3870K Black Edition. Very much at stock. 
I'm acutally using the the integrated GFX too. It's competent, as long as you don't get ambitious or try to play Saint's Row 3.
As for what I buy next... Well, I've been AMD since the late 90's, but I'm very much at the end of an upgrade path. A proper graphics card would certainly extend its life somewhat, but I don't wanna splash the cash.

Could probably go higher on the core as the temps are all very good however not really got round to messing about with it - prefer to use the machine these days rather than tinker with it.

I'm now the owner of an FX 8320, my first AMD since my old Athlon XP-mobile. I think I'll have some fun clocking this one!
