AM2 or 1207 (F) socket if your looking at a mother board. 1207 (F) is the new high end CPU socket.

Thanks for the info!

Now with those CPU's have 2mb L3 cache i wonder if there will be a huge performance increase.

Personally I have not been impressed with AMD since the days of the Thunderbird. Even then the exposed cores were a PITA for many. I can't count how many ppl screamed on the forums that they cracked their core applying a HS.

They just seem to be falling behind Intel these days. Perhaps this new processor line will change things.

To be honest the X2 did outrun Intel's processors for a time, but since then Intel has really pushed them deep in the hole. Don't personally think the phenoms will pull them out, since shortly after intel will release Nehalem further smashing AMD.

No fanboi'ism here, I buy whatever is on top of the heap

AMD has a LONG way to go before they catch Intel - and when they do catch them (yes, I think they can), it may be too late. They dug themselves a huge hole when they picked up ATI, now another lackluster brand.

Intel's new QX9650 (45nm) just took processing to an entirely new level. All of the BMs and reviews I've read thus far prove it is vastly underclocked.

I believe Intel is just toying with AMD right now...

And no, I am not a brand loyalist.

Same here to be honest, I'm not really a big AMD fan or anything, but with their processors at $50, I don't believe buying one is a "big mistake". You can get the socket 1207 and then when phenoms come out, you're good to upgrade.

AMD FX74 socket 1207 (F) with that you can have a dual core now that is awesome and then when the quad cores come out just drop the new CPU right on the board and that is it.

Its not about the old technology. Its about their new technology. Buy all the X2s you want. You still are getting owned by Intel.
