I haven't read through this whole thread, but did AMD ever go through with their own version of Hyper threading? That's one reason I thought about trying an i7. But the hardware is double the price over an AMD rig. AMD was rumored to do their own version of it with the "Bulldozer" Platform 6 core. AMD can't really keep up as far as most bench scores, so i think they've just been adding cores to compensate.

Go SSD RAID and never look back!
You LOOK at that thing crooked and it loads something INSTANTLY. Boot time goes from a minute to about 20 seconds. And I mean from button pressed to game loaded in ~30 seconds.
Add an OC quad core and holy hell!
