    X4 965 for $165 is a pretty nice price, but I have to say the i5 750 'feels' more responsive in my experience even though they trade benchmarks.

    Too bad... I love supporting the underdog as much as anyone but AMD right now just seems worthwhile only for budget (they outperform Clarkdale just fine but anything approaching 200 runs into Lynnfield) and niche (where hexa-core beats 4+HT by a solid margin) builds.

    Fusion needs to rock our socks off. I'd love to grab an Ontario notebook if it'll run Starcraft 2 decently at low detail 768p (shouldn't be much of a challenge since the machine in my sig can handle it pretty smoothly).

    Gateway NV53 15.6": Athlon II M300, HD4200, 4GB DDR2, 320GB 7200rpm

    Next upgrade: As soon as I can get an Ivy Bridge machine with 128GB SSD for under $600.
