Wait for Piledriver?

I've had doubts about going for an AMD system as they are not looked fabourably upon compared to an i5. However I'm not looking to run games or overclockers. But I have seen some comparisons of hdd speed and the i5 still trumps the Amd 6100.

Amy advice? The i5 3750k is almost twice as much as the fx 6100.

i also need support for Io virtulisation.
 
K series CPUs lack IOMMU. However,even with CPUs which have IOMMU,you need a motherboard with a compatible BIOS and chipset whether the CPU is AMD or Intel.

It's nearly impossible to tell! A few forums have got very conflicting reports.

The issue is I want a chep MB but need 3 PCIe slots (x8) for GPU, RAID and fibre card!
