ok.. the AM2 processors right now are still way pricey compared to what the conroe will cost.. I hope to see a huge price drop next week.. although i'm not sure at this point if that will incline me to go towards an amd setup if they are not making vast changes in their architectural design. But at the same time I do want to build a new system soon and would rather not wait, since systems are constantly changing and by the time conroe comes out people will be talking about new systems that are on their way out..
So... if i do get an am2 board, do u guys think i will be able to run a quad cpu when amd makes that move..? or will they change the socket for a quad system?? which will suck.. plus i dont see how a quad cpu can cost around $300...
In that case would it be wise to still wait for conroe? other than that, i know amd has been better than intel for years now.. so i dont see why amd wont make another move after intel to make a better, completely redesigned cpu.. does anyone know if they have plans to throw athlon away completely and make a brand new cpu?
I can't believe the pentium days are coming to an end.. It seems like a new age in cpus are begining, and the first one to do it is intel.. so that leaves me thinking that amd will catch up again and dust away intel in 2007..
i just hope they will do that in a am2 setting which will promise an upgrade from the existing setup we have.
Or maybe amd will make the price of the new cpus so high, that it will still seem logical to get a conroe, meaning i would have still wasted money on an am2
?
