See, this is what I thought I would get - people who don't actually own the CPU or have direct experience with it.
If there people out there running this CPU, lets here from you on how things are day in and day out.

Who's running one, besides batmang? And speaking of batmang, here's his Phenom build thread.

I believe this forum might not be a great place for the average computer user seeking advice. My own reluctance to spend entire paychecks on upgrades, as an experienced user, even makes me appear to be a standard user here. Enthusiasts are a dying breed anyway. Gone are the days of spending thousands for a fully functioning computer.
I would recommend staying away from Phenom until April and the B3 stepping, even if the TLB bug itself is way overstated. Otherwise, AMD has just as much a viable computing platform, based on your own individual needs and priorities. I expect AMD to become more cost competitive in the continuing months.
