I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

Those have been out for a while. I'd rather pay $250 less and get an FX53 and get more performance out of that.

Yeah they've been around for a few months now, and while they have nice performace, from the benchmarks I've seen they are nowhere even near worth the price tag.

Though that would be nice for encoding, I'll stick with my 3 GHz P4 that cost less than 1/5 of that.
