i read that some website was doing preoders and they were going for 300-500 USD but the site was down(Figures)

Well my computer took a dump

1 of the tubes connected to the video card waterblock came off and my video card went wild and i shut it off and cleaned off the fluid and removed some of it might have to rma it to diamond will see in a few hours

Its a 4870x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH hopefully they replace it

damn dude that sucks. Thank god you got it figured out. I found a leak on mine yesterday myself. it was leaking down the front fascia of the case and shorting out with my fan, I thought I was stable at 3.3 Ghz till yesterday, I was mad, then I noticed what was going on. Fixed the leak, cleaned it up and the fan works fine along with everything else, thanks god.

BTW, I would RMA that card bro, why risk it!

I heard the AM2 Phenom II 940 BE was going to be $250-300. The AM3 ones I believe are going to be upwards of $300 I heard.

AM2 is going to be DDR2 and 125W TDP, AM3 will support DDR3 and will be 95W TDP. Really won't know what would be better to be honest. Im assuming eventually AM3 will be better.

isn't the AM3 also going to be a different socket?(number of pins)

nope, most boards are going to be AM3 compatible just through a BIOS update.

when are the new boards coming out then that have over 1k pins?

well the boards we have now will be compatible with AM3, most of them. Mine for example the M3A79-T is AM3 compatible with a bios update.

I have read that my board also will support AM3 but nothing official on mine yet. If it doesn't i am going to be then it will lead to

think you got my point

maybe not right off the bat, but i'm sure it will, your board is pretty popular.

sure hope so. but hey i can wait. If it takes awhile atleast it will give it time for prices to be down and if there are any problems with the chip (like the 1st Phenoms) it will already be known.

good way to think of it. I am risking it though, I'm going to get the AM2 Phenom II as soon as it hits the stores for sale.

If i had the money to spend on it right when released i would be more then happy to help AMD out. But because i am 16 and don't have a job anymore i can't.(and for some reason my family won't just buy me everything i want anymore like when i was 12 and younger )
