Buying new Desktop... Conroe? AM2? WTF??
 

I need to build me a Desktop as only a laptop is killing me.

But I get into ordering parts and doing a couple searches to see whats better I find all this info on how the release of Conroe will be huge and its a way better chip then the AMD X2.
But then I find that the new AMD is using a AM2 socket or something?

So now I am confused as hell. I dont know shit about PC hardware. So someone that does wanna give me a hand?
Do I want to buy the AM2 chip or wait for the Conroe, or jsut wait for the conroe to bring the price of the AM2 down? or whats going on?


Thanks.

Whats the Conroe? I am actually trying to find something aswell, and think I am going for an AM2 4200 (X2). Check out tomshardware.com for nice cpu comparisons - very helpful.

There were some good articles on www.newegg.com on Conroe about a week ago. Hope that helps.

nothing better than an old PII

Google Sinclair ZX81

cutting edge technology (and the keyboard is even completely spill proof - no shit!)

lol the Sinclair ZX81 is OLD.

Tomshardware has always been biased, unless they changed resently. And I dont think any Conroe chips have been released.

Searching Newegg right now. Cant really find much though???

Biased towards AMD or? Well, it did seem they thought the AMD cpus were superior but...

They used to be heavy bias to Intel.
