Honestly?
I already had picked up an MSI am3+ motherboard to replace my dying am2 motherboard...so trying to sell that and pick up an intel setup was just not worth the hassle.
Just the facts, no fanboy or sticking it to the man-isms.
Mine:
-runs on your existing AM3+ motherboard
-comes with a pretty sweet cooler

If you're planning to do integer intensive tasks that make use of all 8 cores, then bulldozer is a good product for you.
i want to upgrade from my e8400 to a BD, would you advice that?
My last system was an E8400 @ 3.6... I think Bulldozer would be quite the sizable upgrade, dual cores are definitely long in the teeth nowadays.

Yeah but why would you pay more for inferior solution when superior one can be bought for less?

You would likely see a performance decrease in older games.
There is zero reason to go Bulldozer over 2500k/2600k.
- price/performance = Intel
- power efficiency = Intel
- overclocking = Intel
- lightly threaded workloads = Intel (by a lot)
- multithreaded workloads = Intel (In rare cases BD overcomes Intel by a hair).
There is only one reason to go Bulldozer over Thuban, and that's AES encryption.
Getting ECC support on Intel platforms is usually more expensive.
I have an MSI 890gxm board now so its simply a bios update away, not 200 bucks on a new motherboard..
