A quad in the EP45-DS3R is nice too.

Yes.

Actually, I did end up ordering a Phenom x4 9950 BE, Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H, G.SKILL F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ, Corsair TX750W and some AC MX-2.

I have nothing against AMD processors. I'm just not as familiar with them and I have usually stayed with "the devil you know" when buying. I've certainly been with impressed with the results from their gpus as of late. Will try to learn more as I go along.

Hey, I'm not crazy. I just inexplicably like AMD.

Anyway, I have a 9850BE running on a Biostar TA770 A2+. It's doing 3GHz right now. I ordered an ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe and that should be coming in next week...then I'll start to really have some fun.

My 9950 is chugging along at 3.2Ghz just as my 5000+ was. I'm glad I made the move. I posted some of my 3DMark scores in this thread. -> Going from 3870's to 4870('s)?
