Phenom Review

Very straight forward and thorough. AMD may not have the fastest cpu, but the 780G with hybrid crossfire is a real dream for budget shoppers. Also, anyone coming off the dreaded P4 or Pentium D will see the AMD as a God send over that bucket of garbage. hehe

Let the bashing begin. :-)

This is defintely the platform to be using when building HTPCs. I hope we start seeing more HTPC sites popping up so we can see what parts they use to keep this chipset cool and silent.
