I wouldnt be too afraid to build now as the chips out are pretty good for gaming regardless. N I doubt BD is a flop. I feel that its a sledge hammer aka new architecture/design.

Keyword highlighted. Seriously the logic is not that hard to grasp. There's nothing to gain by buying this stuff ahead of time, but plenty to lose. There's nothing to argue here.

ya n it seems your tryin to start an argument here... I could say the same about Intels newest CPU being 47% faster, in what their own benchmarks designed for intel? Not believable at all.

WTF is wrong with you? What argument?

Fact: Early investing into a BD build serves no benefit. Waiting is the best solution. There's nothing to argue.

then that being said, wouldn't he either need to run 1866 or OC 1600 to 1866??

Gah, I completely forgot to mention this. BD can support 1866. As such if the OP is going to play the waiting game then he should buy something at least that fast.

agreed, also it's likely that since it's a new platform new ram will be released specifically for it so that's why I'm waiting.

There's nothing to worry about there. JEDEC sets the memory standards that manufacturers have to conform to. Memory up to 2133 DDR3 has been approved for a while now. I got a good deal on some 2133 (which I wasn't planning on buying but $75 for 2x4GB is too hard to pass up) so I nabbed some. I'm reeeeaaallly trying hard to hold out for BD though.

I dont believe it is necessary to buy a 1866Mhz Ram , from what im hearing Bulldozer supports up to 1866Mhz but that doesnt mean i need a 1866Mhz.

Well of course it isn't necessary, but why not buy it? RAM is pretty damned cheap now adays, and the difference in price between levels is no more than $15.

All dependent on how the motherboard handles the freq n thats just the Fastest JDEC standard that the Chip Supports, I mean bulldozer rest assured supports freq over 2200MHz
