TBH its partially the reason I want to hold off for a bit longer.  I got AMD when they where being panned with the early Athlon range.  in the days a 45* CPU temp on them was cool.  Ive liked them since, and i want to see what AMD push out before I go out and spend a fortune on an Intel rig.  I always feel skinned when i pay for Intel gear, but at the moment AMD are an entire process generation behind.

Atm Im running S939 64 3500+, 1GB PC3200, Geforce Ti4200.  Been running this a good few years now.  The graphics need to go.  Plain and simple.  Geforce 7 or 8.

Ive been thinking about it a while now I honestly think the best soloution for me is to get a 939 pci-e mobo and graphics card.  I know my cpu is good enough for the time being and it will be worth the wait to see whats on the bill in Q3.

If i upgraded now, it would have to be something along the lines of an E6600.
