OK guys. I'm going back to AMD. I was going to wait until February, but problems with my board made a decision for an earlier switch easy to make. My plan is to sell my e8400 and my DDR3. My DFI p45 board is being RMD'd for a refund. So, I'm planning to buy a good AM2+ board that will be able to run Phenom II chips. I will be buying a PII chip the week they come out, and resell whatever chip I buy now. I also need a "decent" chip to run in it for about a month, and last, I need some good DDR2 memory (4GB). I'd go back to Firestix, but they are currently not available at a reasonable price. I prefer at least DDR2 900 sticks. I do have some thoughts of my own, but I decided not to post them here. I want your opinions on what to buy, since I've been away from AMD for about 2 years. I need help with this fast, as I'm buying today. Here is my budget for each item:
Motherboard: $150
CPU: <$75
DDR2 <$80
