or another solution which to buy AMD CPU and MB , due to the new intel MB & CPU which will be released soon with ddr3 ,
if i get intel with ddr2 like my build, im sure that i will get stuck in the future and i will not be able to upgrade my pc , i will have to buy new mb and cpu and memory.
is that smart to get AMD cpu and MB with ddr3 memory ? so i can upgrade my pc easily without changing MB and CPU and Memory in the future ,
if its a smart idea ,
tell me which AMD CPU and MB to buy with the same avarage price and SPEED ! like q9550

thanks

Short answer to above, is None. AMD presently does not offer DDR3, nor do they have a processor that can match the q9550 (not even the q6600). However the AMD Quads are much cheaper. If you want an AMD system wait for Shanghai in Jan-Feb timeframe (metal gates, and more Cache).

Since you'll be running a HD4870x2 then the crossfire route with a P45 at 8x/8x isn't a good idea. If you are thinking about crossfire with dual HD4870x2 then go with a X48 motherboard and a 1,000w power supply. If just running a single 4870x2 then the asus deluxe is a good pick.
