Hi,

I am currently waiting for a little extra cash to build a machine. I am thinking about holding on for M2, but was wondering if anyone new a date that I would actually able to get a board and CPU from overclockers.

Also, any idea how much they will cost? Looking for 3700-4000 single core.

Any help would be great, thanks.

So I should be able to buy one in April or thats when they are released?

I will be shocked if I can get my hands on one in april cause I have not read any reviews on the socket or anything like that yet.

Im stuck between holding on and purchasing a Opteron, decisions decisions.
 
Hmm, just read something on theinquirer.net saying:

"All these factors will drive the cost of M2 or AM2 boards to be five to ten dollars higher than socket 939 or 754 boards. After some time, this cost should drop but at the beginning it will be a little bit more expensive to make them. They are still scheduled for Q2 launch, so I suspect that you should see many of them at Computex in June and some previews at CeBIT next month."

Well that says June, so maybe I will be waiting a long long time.
 
Yea but I dont fancy buying a board with that feature, I really dont like the sound of it, would much prefer a dedicated board.

I think im just gonna go 939 and either get a 3700 SD or a decent stepping Opteron if I can get one.

I think I will end up with the Asus SLI Deluxe board.

Thanks for your help
