The thread name says it all. I'm probably going to buy new parts for me PC to upgrade it.
The upgrade will change the CPU , RAM and Motherboard. CPU will be E8400 and RAM - probably 4GB from OCZ (Platinum).
But , I notice that P45 is going to be released next month and I'm thinking if it worths waiting? Is the change from P35 to P45 worth the wait?

Thanks , Crembo.

You may want to stick with a P35 motherboard, the FSB will stay the same on a P45. You will also need to pay more money for memory, the P45 only takes DDR3 Memory.

I agree with second post, p45 wont be worth it until DDR3 becomes more of an easy choice, it's too expensive for the minuscule gains it yields.
