Any comments suggestions? Don't like the board? etc...
:)
 
ugggg....i knew you'd say that. I don't want to have to buy DDR2 and an L775 board and allll that crap....seems like i'd be back at square one.
 
But that AMD i assume is locked in? Its not going to go back up to 300? after conroe that is?

I'll probably go conroe...*sigh* Will there be decent boards out? I have no idea how to setup and intel build.
 
wait arent the amds gonna drop prices? i heard the x2 (s939) will drop by 30% or 50% not sure which. but i would go with conroe.
 
The regular 64 SC already dropped to match Intel's D or something, but yes the X2's will drop a huuuuge amount.

I do believe Conroe is more bang for the buck. I mean equal to AMD 2.4GHz DC for just 180 bucks? wowzers. It might drive up my price a fair bit though, yet in the long run would be compatable with all the huge conroes for the next few years. I think I need help setting up a nice conroe build when it comes out. It sounds painful but...oh well :/
 
All you'd have to change is mobo/ram/cpu and that's it. I dont know how well the Conroes will perform with only 2mb of cache.
 
I'm def gonna have to wait to see how this AMD AM2 RHT issue plays out. We'll see....AM2 boards are still expensive though. and so is DDR2 800
