I just hope that some reviewers will see the light and stop recommending overpriced solutions to "normal" users.

Since it is not clear yet if this thing supports DDR2 memory I don't understand what you are speaking about. What about AM2/AM2+ and DDR2 owners? Probably only owners of new AM3 boards will benefit from this cpu. It's like to say that 775 supports nice upgrade path - Celeron => Pentium => Core 2 Duo => Core 2 Quad.
