If I get an X6 now and build an entirely new Bulldozer rig in December, I'll just have too much damn processing power sitting idle.
if thats your biggest problem, u must have such a horrible life, lol

im in the same boat, 940 with DDR2, so i picked up a 1055T (its sitll in the box cause im waiting on a bios), so for me its a great upgrade to hold me off for probably 1-2 years. and then ill upgrade to the BD when AM3+ boards are out (and hopefully quad channel RAM?!?!, sorry i got a little lost on if thats actually coming to the consumer market)

either way, AM3 cpu in AM2+ now, and waiting for matured BD with lower DDR3 prices and better boards is the way i think to go

and i expect to see a significant boost in clocks, i run my 940 at 3.3ghz 24/7 at stock volts, keeping CnQ on. so with 1055T i expect to have in games about 3.8ghz using turbo, while still being in the same power envelope as my 940, but also have 2 extra cores if anything gets to use it (physx maybe?)
