New CPU... should I wait for conroe.

[DizzyEgg]

I am looking to get a new CPU, well a new PC really.

Now I do not need this PC now, I need it in September so I am thinking of waiting for conroe. I have looked around and only really got information on US release dates.

Will Conroe be released for september? and will I be able to get a conroe chip for 150 quid?

If anyone knows?

Will deffo keep that in mind its a good point. I havn't built an Intel system since p3.

I currently on a system that aint mine so i am looking to build a fresh PC. Athlon XP 1700, 512mb,5900u.

Does nayone know if DX10 cards will be out in september also, because then it would be an ideal time to upgrade imo.

Not a good idea really because this PC has GOTTA last me about 3 years so if I buy now I will miss out on all the Vista goodness cause I wont be able to afford to upgrade. So waiting till those "Vista Ready" Monitors go mainstream and all the rest of that sort of crap.

The graphics card wont be a problem I can just run a cheap one untill the DX10 cards are out.

I do see where your coming from, its a very good point. I think the best thing to do is wait untill I have some clear price's on the conroe and motherboards. Although you may have swayed me towards the skt am2.

Well, gaming is important to me but so is money. Im a student so its not like I get a nice wage in the bank every month is it, I just cant afford to keep upgrading like that.

I am going to get the best I can afford at the time because if I leave the money in my bank it will get spent.

Like i said I think waiting till conroe + boards are released is the best idea.
