Some of the higher end AMD FX chips might be better value for money, indeed AMD still price some of these higher than their dual core for that reason.

I think the jury is out on this,AMD market the FX as a gamer chip IMO so they can be selling 2 lots of top cpu's at the same time
My understanding of dual core as we stand now is that they do multi task apps running now
So game running nice on a 2.2 gig core ,whilst avast and friewall and anything else the OS wants to throw at me can run on the second core,I see only benefits myself
I think AMD made a mistake marketing the FX 57 now at 2.8 gig they should have waited and released a 3 gig cpu
