Although, I just looked, and as it turns out, the 9850 has the same deal, but its $80 more($259). I guess getting a phenom depends on his budget, and how hard the upgrade bug has bitten him...

I'm hoping to see some deneb desktops by the end of the year (christmas time would be great), but thats about all it is... hope.

Good luck
