Agreed

I have been running a 975 setup for main rig and its pretty powerful, but to be honest a 6 core would be just fine and cheaper also for a gaming rig.

I havent had a chance to try one with encoding and what not, but I dont expect it would be to far behind.

Just about all my Intel stuff have been dogs at over clcoking tbh, but the X6 looks like it will be pretty strong.
