I am looking to build a computer, but if it's gonna be obsolete in a few months than mabey I should wait for the new processors. What should I do?
 
Refrain from buying a CPU until a few hours before death. That way you get the best performance ever and won't ever miss anything.
 
Unless you're upgrading from something really old, I don't think it is a good idea to upgrade right now. I'm waiting it out with my current systems till I see the next generation of both AMD and Intels' offerings.

It would be like buying a brand new PowerMac dual G5, 4 months before they switch to Intel.
 
I wanted to build a small pc with a mobile processor inside
Will I even be able to afford somthing like that with those new cpu's?

I think you'll be okay grabbing a Intel Yonah chip for your application. Conroe will be awesome, but if you're using a mobile CPU, gaming probably isn't your priority so it shouldn't matter much. Good luck.
 
Actually I was going to gaem but from what I heard is that under the right conditions and paired with the right stuff, the mobile cpu's are just cooler cpus
Is the Yonah the new mobile cpu?

I believe Yonah is the same as the 'Core Duo' chips that Intel is selling. NewEgg has them. Hopefully you're right about them being the same 'under the same conditions'. I know my Pentium M didn't like gaming, although it was on my laptop. :D
 
Just go with an X2 or Opty now. Conroe ETC are a ways off, and the release of the wayyy too early benchmarks is to take away from AMDs sales. Im not saying that Conroe wont be faster, but we dont know when it will be out, and dont want to fall victim to Intels bullying marketing strategy.
