    I really dont want to let this bundle go away if its infact as good as I think it is. Would it be an improvment over my current system. Also I could throw in a SSD as the primary game drive for increased performance?

    In synthetic benchmarks the 6100 bulldozer is around 50% faster than the Intel core duo Q6600.

    Core 2 =2,969

    Bulldozer = 5,592

    Your gaming performance will be significantly improved and it will shave quite a bit of time off doing things like encoding video or audio.

    In synthetic benchmarks not real world,but if you take encoding video as an example your looking at nocking 20-30 seconds off encode time or file compression time.

    Unfortunately I can't find a real world benchmark comparison to give you an idea but the difference will definitely be noticeable.
