So basically you'd have to be an idiot to buy the 920 or 940?

No if you don't plan ram and mobo change 940/920 is the cpu for you(like me) if you want to change everything, then wait for the 9x5 processors .

the 920 and 940 will be the same thing but only with ddr2 support. the prices on them will most likely drop when the am3 versions are released so if you are certain that you are not going to get ddr3 or am3 then the am2+ one will be a better buy. at one point i think they were going to have a much bigger split inbetween the two cpu's releases (2 maybe 3 months) but it ended up only being a month apart.

Is there only going to be one month between ddr2-ddr3 denebs?

945 and 920 are set for February.

well it's still kind of stupid to release am2+ chips ...they should of just released am3 chips instead which would still work on the current platform and we can upgrade our motherboard and ram later.

Now that I think of it, maybe AMD did it just to make sure they didn't miss any customers that totally missed that AM3 CPU's works as well.

This is exactly the question I popped to one of the AMD guys at the event, why even bother with AM2+. Just release them as AM3 so people can use them now with they're current boards and future boards should they choose to go for ddr3......It makes no sense to put all that effort into an end of life product with a shelf life of probably 3 months.....Of course you all know the answer that I recieved so lets just wait and see.
