Many guy in this forum bought Faildozer , they still complaining why it's so slow on Dolphin
I know bulldozer is shunned upon, but AMD is working hard to get the issues fixed. I do agree the Phenom II X4 series is very popular, but the architecture is also very old. For now the Phenom would be better, and have convinced the supplier to sell the AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 GHZ for the same price (which is 89EU, which is dirt cheap) . Went with the MSI 870-C45 mobo, which sadly doesn't support USB 3.0... w/ USB 3.0=18EU extra which is ridiculous considering the mobo was 48EU (more than 1/3 price increase for USB 3.0, rest is rubbish). BTW the phenom II can OC to 4.2GHz with A good cooler (which is 800Mhz difference)
.Also went with A different case, the silverstone ps04b.
