I havent seen much from the board on this cpu, AMD phenom II 940. just wondering how good it is in comparision to intel. I know that the intel i7 cpu will walk away from it. would like to here from those that may be using it. I have a tighter than expected budget, just trying to get the best bang from my buck I have about 1,300. for a new system, my old is 6+ years old and i'm unable to upgrade. plan to use fs 9 with xp. would appreciate any feed back thanks matt

I dont want to spend a lot of money on a high end system. can someone please tell me what works well? or do i need to buy a high end system? thanks Matt
