Default Thinking of selling up and moving back to AMD

Don't know what to do

Stick with what I have or sell and get a Phenom 2?

Would love to see what I can get out of one with my water cooling gear...

Wonder if I can trade my stuff??

I don't know if you can sell your PC now, lol. But yea, like Quantum Reality said, you should wait for newer parts to come out and wait for them to settle all the fixes. After that, you can just jump on the band wagon.

A 4 GHz Pentium Dual Core is nothing to sneeze at, incidentally XD I was able to take an E5200 to 3 GHz but there were niggling minor issues that made me decide to revert it back to stock.
