Although I'd at least wait for AM3 boards to be out before making a jump from skt 775, AM2+ ain't dead yet either but as said, ain't making a lot of sense with AM3 being around the corner.

Yeah that's why I meant in fact, I can see that some AM2+ users will get some new life... I just hope it performs... sadly for AMD not many high performance Intel S775 users will jump on Phenom II ( unless they got some more nice surprises in the sleeve )

Let's hope that AMD puts the CPU's out at very competitive prices... as many might still be tempted to use S775.

Looking from my point of view (hardware wise) I just might replace the Striker to mess with one of these... just to have something new

Will there be much gain with AM3 over AM2+ ( I lost track of AMD innovations long time ago) performance wise ?
