I understand that, but there is no point in buying 4 cheap x3 AMD chips that actually may actually provide less speed (as far as encoding is concerned) than a single chip. not to mention 3 more sets of ram/psu/mobo etc etc.
just my two cents.. as mentioned previously I would check benchmarks not only price tags

their x6 chips and on anandtech.com a x6 is practically a 920 with it varying slightly the main diff is more ram sticks required and more expensive MOBO's unless there are 30 pound MOBO's with inbuilt gfx and gigabit LAN port?.

Also when is bulldozer due out?

x6's seem to hit the sweet spot if your running a heavily threaded app, plus a 5% oc (which should run pretty stable) will give a nice boost as well!

any news on a bulldozer release though?
