(most likely Istanbul/Magny-cours) I'm doing my own research and trying to find a machine that is available here at a "reasonable" price. For the last few years all my machines have been AMD but I found the above using Intel Core I7 930 at a tolerable price. I haven't found an AMD that meets my requirements, YET and if this is a good procesor I will probably not look any more. Yes, I will be running FreeBSD on it (8.0 or 9.0). Is there another option;) I've been using it for almost 15 years if I remember right. Principal Apps: Apache Mysql ldap PHP Courier bind I've not noticed any comments on the 4 core Intel I7. Thanks for asking, ed P.S. I am registered on questions with both email addresses but the one that is activated in gmail and I didn't remember until I got this.

You've apparently already made your choice, as that MB is only socketed for a certain family of Intel CPUs. The days of pin compatible Intel and AMD CPUs are long gone. However if the MB decision is still open, there are many web sites that do comparisons. Tom's Hardware comes to mind. Anandtech is another. Personally, I go with AMD. But it's more of a habit than anything technical. -Jed___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Please copy me on your answers. What will you be doing with it? Will you actually be running FBSD on it and what sort of applications?

I've always been an AMD fan but am getting the idea that they are loosing their edge. So my question if the Intel Core I7 930 2.80 Ghz is as good and option or is their a better AMD at a similar o cheaper price? I plan to install this in a GigaByte GA-X58A/UD7 motherboard with 6 Gb in a Cosmos-S Cooler Master cabinet with extra fans and Cooler Master 600w power supply. Any comments appreciated.
