The GX board costs much more here in germany.

PS: to the i7 thing, i have seen valid CPU-Z screenshots over 6.6GHz, and also far more than 6.5GHz with yorkfield CPUs like Q9650 or Q9550. but let us discuss that thing somewhere else, topic is his new computer, and if he wants AMD that build is fine.

Please let me see those CPUZ screens please.
Because the record for i7 seems to be:
1 : duck reached 5579.98 MHz with an Intel Core i7 Extreme 965 (45 nm)

Like you can see on the link the AMD has abit higher freq.
You did say amd 790 g/fx board.
Thing is, fx board arnt so bad that either. It can easy compare to a x48 board.
But farepak has clearly write thats he want a ASUS M3A78-T board.
Witch is just a GX board.
About i'm a amd fanboy,
Sure, i like amd better. But i still buy whats best for money..
I got a intel you know, witch i bought 1 year ago.
But i'd take a amd phenom 2 if i would buy a new cpu today.
