Wish rectron wants to hurry up and get some in. I want one maybe.That's if i have enough cash of course.

Asus have a whole bunch of Am3 boards.

Do Am3 boards perform much better than Am2+ boards with the 920 and 940?

Not yet, because those processors will be re-released next month with AM3 support.

Hopefully they'll do a bit better. I read that a 940 can't beat a 9450. I don't care which company I support. I want the bes product for the best price.

Now what I would love to know is which chipset? AMD790FX or nVidia 780a?

Recommendations welcome!

Generaly nVidia chipsets have been sucking but i guess at the moment no one has AM3 chips and boards so wait until official release i guess.

the AMD 790FX ftw! that thing uses little power. Also, amd chipsets seem to be rock solid, and will overclock the phenom 2 to the moon and back!

It's the 790FX chipset. I've got the same chipset on my board and they're cool, even though I don't OC...

 

[magikn00b]

790FX all the way

Mmmm then I am kinda stuck with nVidia...seeing that I have 2 GTX280's !
