And what is wrong with 6 core cpus?

Besides, some people might not even plan to upgrade to anything beyond I7 until Sandy Brdige arrives.

I haven't forgotten :) I had a FX60 when it came out. It still lives on in my wife's rig. I DID regret buying however, as cheaper dual core AMD64s came out soon after, and were soon being clocked higher than my FX60. That price premium didn't go a long way.

Tbh, I'd slightly forgotten myself - I had to go look up the name, it's been so long! :D
