Do you have a use for them? If so you can get a Socket F motherboard for under $300 and a cheap hex-core for $455. |
Mostly for purposes of e-penis, I suppose. But when DX11 starts being used more (and I pick up a 5870), the extra cores will start to matter more for gaming as well, there are other things that do benefit from more cores.
I have an AM3 motherboard, so getting a Socket F one would be a waste of money... and you know as well as I do that when they launch the Phenom II X6s next year (assuming that's what they'll be called), they probably won't break 250-275$, more than likely.
