Juha passes beer to Marcus and orders one for himself, I'm always curious of what hardware gives the most bang per buck -- so I think I'll take a look at this new Phenom CPU. Maybe AMD is really a serious contender again. From what I read, the AMD/ATI GPUs are faster than NVidia offering currently

How many SSE instructions can AMD do per clock cycle nowadays? A couple of years ago Intel could do 1 per clock cycle and AMD could only do 1/2, which was a huge downer for AMD. If they can now do 1 SSE per clock cycle, they might be back in the game, which would be a really good thing in terms of
