should i wait?

u shouldve just gotten an intel Core 2, but i guess thats a topic 4 another post. ummm yea an x2 is gonna bottleneck ur stuff

I would wait for 45nm amd quads to come out. If those will be expensive you can go with the older 65nm ones and the prices will be much lower by then

6000+ should still be good enough to not bottleneck in most games. Forget Phenoms. The fastest Phenom (9950be) performs below oldest Intel quad (q6600) while costing slightly more, has TDP of 140w instead of 95w, and don't overclock nearly as well. Absolutely pathetic. Skip it and wait for AMD's next generation.

The x2 6000+ isnt the fastest chip by far but it shouldnt cause any bottlenecks to your system. i would wait and see when the next gen. of cpus come out and see what they offer. intel obviously has the lead at the moment but no one knows what may happen in the next round. (not a fanboy, i just like the competition. it helps keeps the price down.) I mean look at ati vs. nvidia. nvidia used to be top dog a year ago, but i think ati has fought back very well with the 4800 line.(got gpus from both companys, again not a fanboy) who knows maybe ati will take it to them this time. Again i say wait and see what happens. Either way good luck in your decesion.
