So i've finally decided to switch over after reading to many amd vs intel's and always seeing intel kick ass. I'm lookin' for the quickest proc I can get and my question to you is..I heard quad core comes out fairly soon, but what else after that? Is the next up high end intel going to be a few months from now?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Amd guy switching to Intel questions..

- Start date
The fastest desktop processor available right now is the X6800. The QX6700 is the upcoming Quad Core CPU and should be due out soon.
Either of these CPU's would give you ultimate performance now and for a little while at least. Once the quad core CPU comes out, it will be awhile before something dethrones it, but not too long as is the way of things.

The quad core is coming up in a month or two, correct? I'm looking at the Asus P5W Deluxe. Does anyone know if that board supports quad core? Or do I really have to put off buying things until new mobos come out as well. Its rough though because I have no rig at the moment..Bleh

of course intel is going to up themselves every time they release another processor. No more northwood to prescott upgardes. Intel's road map has shown some pretty fast CPUs. Yorkfield is 8 core. coming out in a year or two. But the kentsfield is probably the most realistic to think about since it's coming out in a few months, not a couple of full business quarters.

I am debating that myself. I've got the cash, and if it came out tomorrow I just might do it.
Mainly Alan Wake has me wanting quad core. Plus the thought of overclocking four cores to 3.0GHz and possibly beyond excites me.
