Currently the Warden has three desktops a 1090 six core and two 8350's an she has two Turion II laptops. I have a 6400 and a 8350 and a new MSI GX-70 laptop which has a A10-5750 I believe. The 4170 is now in Mom's machine, oh and the Kitchen hasa Opteron 148. I have several older machines and lots of parts

They don't like pokemons lol
I have been using Amd since the k6-2 days. I use them because of the price per performance ratio.
Also I have upgraded on of my rigs from a 1055t clocked at 3.5 to a Fx 8350. I can see a real difference. Games are alot smoother and frames flow better.
what do you guys think of the newest release from AMD The Vishera . I been eyeballing the 6350 . New egg has it on sale thinking of pairing it up with a Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

It and the 4350 would be my choice, cheaper and faster than an 8350, they seem a better value. They have really been out and in stock for just a short while.

I think you will like the 6350, the 4350 was there for $10 less, but I think you would be happy with any of the 350 ending CPU's

yep I think Your right . Just wish I could find some good review of the 6350 . I googled it but it seems no one realy doing a review on the CPU . I am sure My 3770k would tromp it , but I still have a soft spot for AMD . Shoot I teethed on AMD back when windows 98 was popular ! LOL
EDIT amazon just shipped my asus Crosshair V Formula-Z smoking deal on the board , we will see this sunday when I get time to get it built

You will love the Vishera chip. I didn't think it would be to much of an improvement over the oc'd 1090t I was running in my main rig but damn, it is. Even at stock speeds the Fx8350 is much better then my 3.6 1090t. I have the fx @ 4.4 now and it is a beast.

Not all true since AMD didn't perform too well when Win98 came out. It did show some promise (and innovation) with the K6-2 though, but was beaten in performance by Intel counterparts.
The A-team back then (at or near Win98 release) was Intel with its Pentium II and perhaps even more importantly the 2nd version of Celeron (particularly 300A, which I still think is the best OC'ng processor, considering both the OC potential and benefit provided), but since Win98 was popular for a looo-oong time (due to the not so awesome Win ME) T-birds did rule the world during that era, also (even though very late in the game).
