LOL Blue kinda said my thoughts: It's a CPU and it does what CPU's do.

*EDIT*
Using Photoshop CS5 (4 images), Trillian, X-Fire, Chrome (10 tabs), 2 Folders open, Remote Desktop Connection, Dropbox, Rainmeter and 10 other background applications I'm sucking down 2.89GB of RAM.

People may not use more than 4GB but having that buffer room is really nice on the occasions you do creep over it.

Yeah, with cs5 and vegas plus pretty much every thing nate said (minus the remote desktop) and truecrypt I was maxing out my ram easy. In fact I couldn't run cs5 and vegas at the same time or my computer was un-usable. And I have never been an intel fan boy, both company's make good products. Intel is the performance king right now and AMD is the budget king right now. I'm sure this will change but for now thats how it stands.

Out of curiosity, did you attempt to RMA your PSU (or your RAM for that matter...) or test any of your parts or anything?

Mobo/cpu and one ram stick dead. Psu is fine I borrowed a psu tester from my friend. I talked to that same friend and he says that Asus MIGHT replace/upgrade the mobo which would be cool cause I could then sell it and pay off what I owe for these computer parts.

Side note, AMD stock coolers are weird as hell to put on. Should have every thing up and running tomorrow. So tired.

Took you long enough. Windows 8 is going to be released in another month or so.

There's always going to be bugs and features that need improvements. Microsoft can't let anything major through on a release so your point is invalid. If you're talking about Release Candidates or actual Beta versions, sure. But, jumping on the newest release when it's released is no different than jumping on it months down the road.
