i'm ready to build my new system after selling my old one..i have around £1200 to spend, i've now waited a month for the x1900xt to come out and since then have been surviving with a p3 450mhz.. does the job for the net.. i've now been told that the conroe chips due to come out mid 2006.. is it worth the wait in your opinion, or shall i not suffer for that long and just get the new intel D 9XX chips.. its a long wait but if its meens my £1200 machine becomes old technology in 5months time, i'd rather wait .... any advice would be appreciated
 
someone on here

suggested that theres an intel motherboard out there called Intel's D975X M/B anadtech have reviewed it to be pretty good (i still cant find one for sale in the uk), it supports 1333fsb and the new conroe chip with the 975chipset... could this be an option, and then just upgrade my choice of cpu to the new conroe when its available.. otherwise ill just wait till asus reveals their new motherboards, hopefully soon and upgrade likewise later...

there is still no confirmation whether the asus p5wd2 and the p5wd2-e motherboards will support the conroe chips! anyone?
