Im debating whether or not to go for the X2 4400 right now or wait for the Socket M2's to come out. What do you guys think. I want the latest technology too, doesnt have to be the best, but the latest.

I'm waiting for AM2 socket for the following reason:
1. I don't have the money right now to upgrade, but will after i buy (with cash) a new car.
2. I want to be able to upgrade my cpu after 1-2 years with it.
3. I want to be able to upgrade to quad core.
4. DDR2 support. (hopefully there will be a performance difference)
5. The fastest proc i'll be able to get is the Athlon 64FX-60, which is more than fast enough for me, but still a dead end.
 
EDIT: Searched and found out all my information I needed to know. Mods, please lock and delete this thread.
 
Im in the same boat, I was thinking that I would wait for the AM2 but the problem is that if I want to be upto par like you, then I have to wait atleast 6months after the AM2 comes out to get a good amount of what ever bugs there will be. There will be bugs with the next gen like ever gen before it. Im going with the 4400 in the next week or two. It will be around a year from about now before AM2 is stable and all the hardware companies are caught up with the market with most of the bugs worked out. By then I can atleast sell off the mobo/cpu and upgrade just that part or something along those lines.
