ppl, build me a combo with the sub-90.00 AMD chips here.
I need a mobo with AGP and DDR1 + DDR2 support (if possible with IMC)

Whats the 6000+ most directly compare to from Intel's offerings. I surely want a C2D in my next upcoming build, but at $178 for the top of the line non-FX chip from AMD seems to me to be rather attractive.

Just wait for E6550 or E6750, they are going to be priced $163 and $183 respectively

FX-7x prices suck. If they got the 72 to $400 a pair they just might move some of those chips. For heaven's sake please, somebody put out a reasonably priced Quad-FX mobo, with some proper voltage regulation so it's not sucking 400+ watts of power.

Why in the world is AMD delaying it's next-gen AM2+ chipset until Barcelona? Put that thing on the market already. I don't understand what advantage there is to holding the thing off.

I am so going to become an Intel fanboy with the way things are going.

A 4400+ for under $100. Never thought I'd see the day.

So what goes between $178 and $599? Barcelona is such a far off place...

So basically they don't want to see any FX-72's?
