hello, I built the system in my sig about a year ago and now that a new socket is being introduced, I thought I should start thinking about my upgrade plans.

So the system I have is the same as in my sig below\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
except that I have upgraded my moniter to a 17in LCD, my ram is now running on 3.1V ( Burned it in, y aknow ), I I have obviously updated my drivers...

I know AM2 is going to be relesed shortly but after considering several things, i though I could skip that socket altogehter.

here is my plan:
Buy a 3800 X2 and OC it

and buy this set of ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227066

and upgrade my video card after those two upgrades....


do you guys think that with that system, I could effectively skip AM2? The reason i want to skip is that so far it seems that it will offer little benefits. I do however know tat AMD could pull a huge stunt and it can turn out that AM2 CPUs pwn conroe but........


what do you guys think?
