Aye neither do i, but a lot of people who have had computers before but don't know there hardware, in my experience, have connected the two in the past
If i was in the market for a PC myself i'd probably go Phenom II, but i've had my Q6600 for 2 years in September and it still isn't falling behind and drives my GTX295 to stock Nehalem numbers in games, although i do have it clocked @ 3.6. I think my next major upgrade will be to an 8-core Nehalem.
