i have to delay my rig AGAIN for the p150 . i was first going to buy a 3000. then i hear all this good news about the x2. i planned for two upgrades for this gaming computer in a year or 2. i was eventually going x2 and getting a new video card. my reasoning for not buying an x2 from the start: an x2 won't really help in games for the money. a graphics card would be a better decision. besides the new drivers coming out (by the way another question. do the new drivers help if the game is cpu limited, or do they help games in general?), i'm starting to wonder. if i DID get a 3000 for $150, going x2 would have to be less than $200 if i were to make any kind of savings. i just can't see that happening anytime soon...and when the times comes, m2 will be out and i won't even want to upgrade. so i'm not asking you x2 owners to tell me how fast it is (believe me, i know the x2 is way better), but rather how cheap the x2 might eventually get.
