And before you know it, RichPLS will say a Non-Intel-fanboy statement....nope, sorry, he got delayed too

yea i really think that will take 2 month to be able to buy 1 so actually should i buy right now since its not a big performance boost from amd to amd 2 ? ddr2 not even runing at expected speed and test atm show a 5% increase in the best case and a overall 1 to 3 % increase ><

Ok so AM2 sports DDR2 for the memory is mean significantly faster or is it gonna be just like the Intel upgrading to DDR2 for a little performance gain. Is this mean that now AMD having DDR2 in it's arsenal is gonna even with the Intel's incoming Conroe chips? Is there really a big benifit to have the DDR2 on AM2 or just spending extra money for a memory?

AMD are not idiots. They didnt release ddr2 compatible hardware because there was no physical need for it. And i doubt they will sit on their fingers while Conroe rapes them. Im sure they got something brewing. Just like so many times Nvid comes out with a new amazing card, and a couple weeks later out of nowhere ATI busts out with something better.

Its similar to Intel's move to DDR2, not really much performance gain (some), but paves the way for more improvements. Its really a reverse of what happened already, intel->LGA775+DDR2=weak gains, AMD brings out 64-bit, kicks ass. Just reverse the cycle and repeat. However, I don't think AMD will be nearly as slow to make the next step as intel was (its still not happened yet btw).
But I hardly think AMD will have no chips available on the release date, its too big of a sign of weakness to do that right now. They'll be there, and plenty of them, don't worry about that. The release is a month and a half away and we've seen working boards from multiple companies and chips too.

Well, I have no doubt AMD will ulitilize the DDR2 for their new platform. But I'm wondering how much increase are we talking about here over the AMD DDR boards. Is there any performance reviews about this AM2 DDR2 boards that I can read about? I have an AMD rig with X2 4800 and I might change it's board that if it is possible to do so only when I'm convince with the performance gain. Right now my X2 4800 is setting on a $75 board with one 7800GT and 4Gb of DDR400. Im just waiting for the right time to upgrade this rig to finally kick some serious butt and go even with my 840EE gaming rig.
AM2 is supposed to start shipping May 15. If this happens without a hitch then you can expect to see it on shelves June 6. There is only a small performance gain, ~6% (see Anandtech) from AM2...for now. If you get socket 939 now and want to upgrade later you will need an AM2 chip, new mobo and DDR2. If you build an AM2 system and want to upgrade later (multicore?) all you will need is the chip.

I'm an AMD fanboy, I admit it freely.
I'm not buying any brand new cpu on 6/6/6.
Not even if it was dipped in gold and came with a pizza-bearing pornstar.
Bad juju, man

The biggest improvement for me will be the possibility to have more memory in my normal desktop, I am stuck at 4GB and for my needs that's about 1/4 of the ideal and about 1/2 of the acceptable. Unless I go now for an Opteron boards with 4 x 2GB sticks of REG ECC DDR400

I hate hearing about release dates.... AMD or Intel or Nvidia or ATI you name the company... They ALL do it lol I mean maybe some store 2 miles from the factory has it on that day and can inventory it and price it. Hmmmm maybe im just being greedy ! AMD and Intel hear my plea ! Gimmie gimmie gimmie !!! lol

K8 + AM2 + DDR2 = WATING TIME & MONEY
If you want AMD, buy s939 Opteron with DDR500 CL2(I guess cost less than DDR2-800 CL4) and DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra mobo, so you can overclock it easy and get much faster system for less or same money that the AM2 one that you plan to waste money for.
If you cna wait, than wait for Conroe. It is the right choice that significiently overperforms K8 at lower clock and will cost less.

They are releasing AM2 on May 23rd. So give it about another week or two and you could build a system based on it. At least that is how I have seen it go.
