a friend is building a new comp
and sent me a list of the parts he was using. included was the 2.2ghz Phenom chip, which i told him to replace with an X2 for now until the Phenom series has had time to mature. also i have read reviews saying the Phenom underperformed compared to higher clocked dual cores. so my question is now this, should i tell him to get the best dual core AMD possible and not buy a Phenom for a year or two, or to get a low or midrange dualcore (i recommended the 4800+ for now) and get a higher end Phenom when they are eventually released this year?
