    Phenom

    Has anyone upgraded to a Phenom yet? I was thinking of getting one but some reviews have been kinda harsh and I would like to have some "real world" input from someone who has one. I know that some have the issue above 2.4GHz but thats not to much of a concern for me.

    I'd love to try a phenom, but alas, I myself have not yet gotten one. I've also heard/read that they lack a fair amount of L2 cache...And L3 cache?!?! What on earth!?
