Ive got the urge to build a new system now...something along the lines of Phenom 2 X6....Not sure which one.
5850
some fast ram (1600Mhz DDR3...can the X6 take tripple channel or not?
Id love an SSD...But theyre just too much still...probably go Raid 0.

EDIT:According to this site the prices will be..

1090T Black Edition: 125(W), AM3 Socket, 9MB Cache, 3.2 GHz Freq @ $295 USD =£192
1055T: 125(W), AM3 Socket, 9MB Cache, 2.8 GHz Freq @ $199 USD = £130

Not sure if they are genuine prices though.

that does look nice, and i bet the pricing is going to be a fair bit cheaper than the new i7, shame that it still uses the 45 nm process a shift to 32nm would have been interesting, looking forward to some proper reviews :)
found this website with pricing showing prices from bahrain and norwegian retailers
prices translated into dollars are:
1090T Black Edition: $385 in norway and $295 in bahrain
1055T: $268 in norway and $199 in bahrain
also says release is april 27th

Remember, USD does not directly correlate with what it will be in £ or €. A good example is the GTX4X0 line of cards, $499 for a 480 here in the states, and the same numerical value in € (€499). For computer hardware, a good rule of thumb is $1 USD = €1 at launch.

Yeah, intel stayed with 775 for years,then switched, now they are going to switch....again.

AMD will inevitably need a new socket at one point though as well.

I might get one. Was going to hold out till Bulldozer, but for the price these X6s are selling at. I mean, a 1090T X6 at 3.2 and unlocked for 300 bucks. Dont know if I can pass that up. lol.

On a side thing. Pretty sure the first Bulldozers will be AM3. But the CPU/GPU/Fusion processor will have a new socket.

Im sort of stuck on what to do personally, as i want to go with bulldozer when it comes out, but i also sort of want to get a dual socket magny cours board with two 8 core cpu's, and then another part of me wants to get one of these, and yet another is telling me not to upgrade at all hehe.

I wonder if MicroCenter will get some and sell them for cheap...

Just a quick note, DDR3 is required, right?

I could see them starting off with dual channels, but then make a few triple channels.

The 960T doesnt look bad either. Runs at 3.3ghz, seems if your lucky it unlocks to a X6. Depending on the price.

They are AM2+/AM3. Dual Channel. Gigabyte has updated most of there AM3 boards. I have a GA MA790X UD4P DDR2 board too and it hasnt been updated yet.

That is if you all are talking about the Thuban, its just a 6 core Deneb. Now the Bulldozer will be a different story. From what I understand the first Bulldozer drops the DDR2 controller and its replaced by a Dual/Quad DDR3 only channel controller.

There was alot of speculation regarding dropping of DDR2 support with the X6's, but just as stranglehold said, they are just 6 core Deneb's. And yeah, bulldozer will be dropping DDR2 support from what i understand.

Well at least it means that we won't have to buy new memory because it's really expensive right now... i remember when you could buy 2gb of DDR2 800 for $23 (one stick)!!
