I've been running a Phenom II 940 Deneb for 3 years now and have zero regrets. Awesome processor.
Plan on getting at least 8 more months out of it as primary machine.
I do admit however crying myself to sleep some nights for not dropping the extra $350 dollars when a webpage doesn't load .00005 seconds faster and I get 72fps in BC2 instead of 78fps.
Oh, why did I bring this up at work?
