Well, I need a new comp (old comp died, currently on a basically unusable 500mhz 96mb ram celery).
The problem is, with the lack of pci-e and DDR2 on socket939, going s939 now will be a deadend. And 754 is obviously a dead-end. I need a new video card now, so going with either of these will involve the purchase of 2 video cards over a relatively short period of time, and when pci-e becomes more mainstream around christmas time, the value of agp cards will drastically decrease, so I don't really want to buy an agp card now.
However, I'm an AMD fanboy, so I dunno what to do? I mean, I can hold out for a little while (another month to a month and a half), but after that I'm going to need to make a purchase. I'm almost thinking of getting an LGA775 setup, just so I'll have a pci-e card/slot for now, and it will be easier to upgrade later?
