Seeing as How I've got a Newegg wish list for my next build based on a dual core Pentium G630T, I'll give you some reasons. The first is I'm using an Athlon x2 240 Regor. The primary reason is TDP. The new build will have a 35w TDP instead of my current 95w TDP. Lots cooler. Other reasons include things like SATA 6 and USB 3 support plus UEFI. Like I said, main reason is the 35w TDP.
