new rig, AM2 and conroe questions inside

[junpei]

ive been wondeirng about the Am2 for a while myself, im budgetting myself roughly £1000 on a new pc around june as it is soive been looking in to it, but is buying one of these first generation AM2's and the 800mhz DDR2 really going to pay off for me?

any idea on the price of AM2 ? or should i just go full whack on a current AMD and get some high quality DDR ??

also what about this intel conroe(sp?) ?

any release or information on that would be appreciated?
