one can certainly hope... AC97 has plagued us for far too long.

hrmmm... looks legit enough, but with all the fakes around, you never can tell :P

IMO - yep, i think its worthwhile... the 805 is a dirt cheap entry into Dual Core, and while it wont perform equally to the AMD entry Dual Core solution - it was never meant to. but, this is only my opinion :P

i'd grab an AM2 - why? with ddr2 ram latencies decreasing as we go on, that difference would affect amd more than intel, due to the integrated mem controller :) ok... so equal performance and overclocking? hey, its equal now(hypothetically)! no one said anything about the future :P

read both the threads on this, and they're both an interesting flame-fest :) and after reading the threads, i've still decided that an 805 is the better option for me, while i put my sempron 2800+(754) into retirement as a file-server(it'll run at stock speeds on less than 1.2volts ;))...
