They say upgrade is good but not biggie since the can use their current AM2+ board. Some of the same folks are then saying AM3 will improve things.

Example, someone brings up price. Why can't just person A say fine if person B thinks the price is OK. But then Person A shouldn't be flamed for thinking it costs too much?
You're of course right in that way that some seem to be pounding the "it's more economic to buy a PII than a completely new platform" and at the same time want to wait for the DDR3 performance but at the same time; when the AM3 platform is introduced the prices will probably be lower and AM3 motherboards will probably not be as expensive as the Intel X58 counterparts.

Besides, this thread has completely gone off track as so many other AMD threads. Not even in the AMD forum the threads are sacred from the Intel bashing from some users. Most people said that PII performance would be on par with C2Q ~9400-9600. But some pro-Intel users claim that all AMD-fans were claiming i7 performance.
