The conroe is intel's new chip, have AMD got anything in the pipeline to compete witht is. I know AM2 is out but are these chips ust more energy efficient. Do u think the new AMD chips wud be in my price range (if there are any coming out the same time as the Intel's)??

Or shud i just stick with the X2 3800 and wait for it price to drop?
im not that good with speakers, but def go with a 2.1 system, cause 2.0 system sounds like crap.

The X-530's smaller kin, the X-230, is exactly the same, but minus 3 surround speakers. As well it is cheaper. I know that you may be thinking "$30? what can be good for that price?" however, the X-530 (I own a set) is comparable to our home theater system in the living room (dual subs, 4 speakers with 15" bases, and a high quality center)!

Or these.

Or if you can stretch it these would be great.
