right now i have a 3500 winnie, that i have oc'd to 2400mhz. the rest of my system is 1gig of ddr and an x800pro flashed to xtpe. Im pretty content with my system, but i wan to move over to pci express (sooner the better). i have 2 choices.

1: go with a 939 mob with pci-e and get a new vid card

2. wait for the M2, with pci-e and get new vid card, cpu, and ram

for 1 im looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127215 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102512
 
Maybe you want to wait for the Uli chipset that allows PCI-E, AGP and PCI on the same mobo. :D Me kidding. We'll have to wait and see...
 
i dont have that high of a budget, and im an ati fanbiy sorry

but should i be going 1 or 2?
 
Yes, if you're going to spend a lot of money anyway and can afford to wait, then wait for M2. By then ATI's R520 will most likely be out and ready to ship to you. That's probably gonna be a nice setup you'll be on!
 
I wouldn't upgrade until you:

A) Absolutely have to upgrade your graphics card

or

B) Want to buy a X2, in which case you won't need to upgrade your system for quite a while after that. :D
